What is “Chatan”?
“Chatan(北谷)”is the region name in north Okinawa.
It is famous for American Military base.
So many foreign residents and travelers are there.
Chatan, has shopping spots called “American Villege”,and good beaches.
You can enjoy these stylish places.
How to go to Chatan
You can go Chatan easily with Bus or Taxi.
Just going to Route 58, and little long from Naha(那覇), so with Bus is cheap and better.
Costs(time&money)
It takes about 30 minutes Naha to Chatan with bus.
And it costs about 500 yen.
If you use taxi, you will pay 3000-4000 yen, so with bus is better.
