5 Best Airport Taxi Services between Okinawa and Naha Airport

If you’re planning on going to Okinawa for the first time, one of the first challenges that you will encounter is how to get from the airport to your accommodation place.

In Okinawa, public transportation such as the train or bus is not as convenient as in larger cities in Japan such as Tokyo and Osaka. Depending on where you’re staying, it might take pretty long, and at this point, you will surely be tired after a long airplane ride.

The option I would like to talk about here is to use an airport taxi service. Not only is it convenient because it will take you directly to your destination, but it is also a safe and assuring option if you’re worried about crowded transportation methods.

In this article, I will introduce to you the best airport taxi services in Okinawa that can pick you up at Naha airport.

There’s no indication of prices, so you will need to ask for a quotation to have an idea of the price. Also, they don’t specify the range in which they operate, so it is also important that you ask if they offer service to your destination.

However, the price that they are indicating is for a large vehicle (between 6 and 9 people), so if you are traveling in a large group, this service might be the cheapest option for you.
