Four bus companies operate in Okinawa, Naha Kotsu, Ryukyu Bus, Okinawa Bus and Toyo Bus. For the passengers' convenience, these operators use the same route numbers if their destinations are the same. When you get on a bus, first, take a numbered ticket from the machine and pay later. Pay the amount shown on the board above the entrance door. The numbers indicate the amount that you must pay.
Some buses take different routes.
To make sure it stops at your desired destination, ask the bus driver before you get on. Depending on the route the bus takes, the time of the ride may differ. Taking a taxi to get around the island is one of the most convenient ways to travel. You will see lots of them cruising around looking for passengers. Especially if you wish to rent a particular type of car.
