I really enjoyed Naha, I stayed with my boyfriend and our accomodation was pretty good for two people. We had our own bathroom and also kitchen (my boyfriend is vegan and its not thaaat easy to find vegan affordable vegan food). The people were very helpful and nice and every corner looked absolutely beautiful!! Yui Rail was such a cool transport system and the beaches were very pretty!

How safe is Naha for women?

Naha during the day is very safe, at night it is a fairly safe city but as a female who usually adventurous alone, I do get mildy worried with the amount of drunk people there can be, i recommend just steering clear of drunk people
