I was a little disappointed with the lack of a rail system on the main island of Okinawa. It's a pretty huge island, contrary to what it looks like on the map. It took us a little more than three hours to get to the Aquarium from Naha city by public transport. This involved a two hour journey to the city of Naga and a change of bus from the bus terminal for the hour long ride. And that's just one way. Six hours in total to travel. It would be alright if the frequency of the bus was more, but no, the last bus back from Naga to Naha city was at 1800hrs. That just cut our day shorter than it already was and we only ended up doing one thing after the three hour ride.
If they had a rail system, I think there would be more tourists and local citizens taking it, no? Because the frequency of the public transport was few and far between, making it near impossible to take in the surrounding area without having to worry if we'll make it back to the Naga to catch the connecting bus back to Naha city.
