About 1 hour drive from Naha Airport. This diving spot is located in Onna Village in the central part of Okinawa’s main island. It is said to be an advanced dive site because of its rocky entry and fast current, but it is an excellent dive site where schools of snappers and other fish can be seen.
Point 1: How to get to “Horseshoe North”?
Hoshu Kita” is located in Onna Village in the central part of Okinawa’s main island.
Onna Village is long and wide, but it is located in the middle of the village. It is located near Manzakage.
To get to “Hoshu Kita,” from the direction of Naha Airport, take the Okinawa Expressway and National Route 58 northward. On the way, you will turn onto Prefectural Road No. 88, but some people hesitate to access the beach because there are no parking lots nearby and you have to park about 10 minutes away.
The beach is basically rocky, so visitors are divided into two groups: fishermen and divers.
Japanese divers are staff members of diving schools, etc., and the rest are foreign divers. The rest are mostly foreign divers.
Point 2: What kind of beach is “Horseshoe North”?
Horseshoe North” is a diving spot located in the middle of Onna Village, near Manzame, in the central part of the main island of Okinawa.
It is not so easy to get to, but it must be a very attractive spot, because there are many people who still want to go there.
First of all, there is no place to park a car nearby, it is about a 10-minute walk, and when you finally arrive at the beach, it is not easy to get into the water because there are many rocky areas and the footing is very poor.
It is not easy to get into the water, and it is dangerous if you are not used to being in the water, as it gets deep very quickly. The currents are also quite strong, so be careful.
However, once in the water, the dynamic and unique terrain continues, and there are many rare fish such as snappers and snappers, making it a treasure trove for divers!
It will be worth the effort to get there.
Point 3: What are the sights and food around “Horseshoe North”?
The highlight of the area around “Ho Shu North” is still “Manza-Mao,” which you should visit at least once.
In recent years, the area has become a tourist attraction, with ticket vending machines selling tickets for 100 yen, souvenir shops, and a museum, but the magnificent scenery of Manzamage and the blue of the sea are impressive.
As for food, there are not many restaurants around Hoshu North, so it is better to go to either the Manza Beach side or Naha side.
We recommend “Fukugi,” an Okinawan noodle restaurant run in an 80-year-old house, located five minutes’ drive from Manzakage Beach.
The restaurant is run by a woman, but because of its delicious food, it is often fully booked right after opening, so be prepared to wait in line, but the soba noodles with dashi broth and juicy, moist, flavorful noodles are superb!
The Soki Soba and Sanpei Soba are limited to 15 servings each. The Soki Soba and Sanpei Soba are limited to 15 servings each, and the juicy is limited to 7 servings, so it is worth a try.
