Today, I am showing, Hentona Beach in Okinawa's north area. The beach is white sand and clean water and fewer people.
When we visit Okinawa's main island, we look for a beautiful emerald green beach and go to Onna village area. It takes 1 hour drive from Naha airport, so it is easy to access. For this reason, the Onna area is popular and developed for the beach resort.
However, if you want to have tranquility in your mind and refresh deeply, you must go to the north area.
You can see clear water and a few people on the beach in the area. So you can have a deep breathing on your mind.
