Okinawa's rainy season usually ends in late June, and that is when temperatures really start to climb.
As a result, more and more visitors come to Okinawa in June to enjoy "marine sports" and "swimming at the beach."
Late June, when the summer season begins, is full of activities and plenty of sightseeing spots to enjoy in Okinawa!
Many of you may be wondering, "Which activity should I try?" or "Where should I go sightseeing?"
In this article, in addition to information on the "activities" and "sightseeing spots" you can enjoy in Okinawa in June, we provide the following information to help you avoid mistakes on your June trip to Okinawa.
| ・Travel costs for Okinawa in June ・Has the rainy season ended in Okinawa in June? Will a typhoon come? ・Temperatures, weather and what to wear in Okinawa in June ・Recommended June activities, by our local staff! ・Recommended sightseeing spots in Okinawa in June ・Beaches and pools you can use in Okinawa in June ・Events held in Okinawa in June |
Please read this article so that your June trip to Okinawa goes smoothly and you can enjoy it to the fullest.
Travel costs for Okinawa in June
Early June is the middle of the rainy season in Okinawa, and the rainy season often ends in late June, so even within June, travel costs differ between the beginning and the end of the month.
There are plenty of places to enjoy even in Okinawa's early-June rainy season, so if value for money matters most, going in early June, when travel costs are lower, is a good option.
However, if you want to make the most of marine sports and swimming, you are more likely to enjoy your trip if you aim for late June, when the rainy season is likely to have ended.
Even if we say that travel costs for Okinawa in June differ between early and late June, many of you may not have a feel for what that means, so
| ・Travel costs for Okinawa in early June ・Travel costs for Okinawa in late June |
we have split it into these two periods to show you roughly how much a June trip to Okinawa costs. Please take a look.
Travel costs for Okinawa in early June
They say travel costs for Okinawa are low in early June, during the rainy season, but how much would you actually need?
We checked the cost of an early-June trip to Okinawa on the travel site Jalan, and found that a budget tour can be had for 31,600 yen per person.
| [Details of the June Okinawa tour we looked up] ・Searched for June 2 to June 4 ・Round-trip flight, Tokyo to Okinawa ・Two people sharing one room ・Searched on November 14, 2024 |
So you can travel to Okinawa in early June at a very low price.
Then what about the travel cost in late June, when the rainy season is likely to have ended?
Travel costs for Okinawa in late June
We also checked the late-June travel cost for Okinawa on the Jalan site, and found that a budget tour costs 36,800 yen per adult.
| [Details of the June Okinawa tour we looked up] ・Searched for June 26 to June 28 ・Round-trip flight, Tokyo to Okinawa ・Two people sharing one room ・Searched on November 14, 2024 |
That is more than 5,000 yen higher than early June.
It may feel expensive, but because early June is a low-price period for Okinawa trips, the late-June travel cost is still a very good deal compared with peak season.
When does the rainy season end in Okinawa in June? What about typhoons?
Okinawa has a different sense of the seasons from mainland Japan, so some of you may feel uneasy about the weather on your June trip, wondering "Is June the rainy season in Okinawa?" or "Do typhoons come to Okinawa in June?"
To settle those worries, we looked into the following two questions
| ・When does the rainy season end in Okinawa in June? ・Do typhoons come to Okinawa in June? |
based on data from the Japan Meteorological Agency.
When does the rainy season end in Okinawa in June?
If you are planning a June trip to Okinawa, you are surely curious about when the rainy season ends.
Based on the Japan Meteorological Agency's website, we found that in recent years the rainy season in Okinawa has often ended in mid-June or later, and in late June in many cases.
On the other hand, there have also been years when the rainy season in Okinawa ended in July, so it is hard to say that it always ends in June.
| Year | Rainy season begins | Rainy season ends |
| 2021 | Around May 5 | Around July 3 |
| 2022 | Around May 4 | Around June 20 |
| 2023 | Around May 18 | Around June 25 |
| 2024 | Around May 21 | Around June 20 |
Do typhoons come to Okinawa in June?
When you think of Okinawa, you probably think of typhoons.
Some of you may be worried that a typhoon could come to Okinawa in June, too.
In Okinawa, typhoons approach more often from June through October, so unfortunately the chance of a typhoon in Okinawa in June is not zero.
| Number of typhoons that approached Okinawa in 2023, by month May: 1 · June: 2 · July: 1 · August: 1 · September: 2 · October: 1 Note: Source: Japan Meteorological Agency website |

The June 2024 data shows that even though June is the rainy season in Okinawa, the daily high often tops 26 degrees from early June on, so it is warm.
Also, in late June, after the rainy season ends, summer days above 30 degrees seem to continue.
We also worked out the average high in Okinawa in June and the average low in Okinawa in June, and
| ・Average high in Okinawa in June: 29.45℃ ・Average low in Okinawa in June: 25.22℃ |
is what we found.
In Tokyo, these temperatures correspond to those of late July to early August.

You are probably also curious how much it actually rains in Okinawa during the rainy season in June.
