Senaga Island (Senagashima in Japanese) is a small island just south of Naha Airport. Once known only as an excellent place to watch the sunset and the planes as they take off and land, the island recently opened a gorgeous new complex that resembles a mountainside Greek village. Clusters of whitewashed buildings arranged in terraces stretch from hilltop to the edge of the sea, filled with cafes and restaurants and a range of boutiques. Sit and sip a glass of wine while enjoying the ocean views before browsing the boutiques for your perfect Okinawa souvenir.
