Best Season

Best Time to Visit Naha

For comfortable weather

April and October–November are not too hot, with relatively little rain and few typhoons — the best seasons for exploring the city on foot.

For time by the sea

From late June, after the rainy season ends, through July, sunny days are common, and Naminoue Beach in the city takes on a real summer feel.
