ニライ橋・カナイ橋
県道86号線から国道331号線へ下っていく途中にある、全長約660mの絶景スポット。 高低差約80mの断崖の上下を、連続する2つの橋が、大きくカーブを描きながら結んでおり、通るとまるで空中をドライブしているかのような感覚になる。 ちなみに上(山側)がニライ橋で、下(海側)がカナイ橋 ※ニライカナイとは、現地の言葉で「海の向こうにある理想郷」という意味だ。 ニライ橋・カナイ橋をドライブする場合は、海を見下ろす絶景を眺めることが出来る、山側から海側へと下るルートを採るべきだ。 ※海側から山側へと上るルートはあまり眺めが良くない。 なお、ニライ橋・カナイ橋のドライブには、橋の上は駐車禁止で、かつ急なカーブが多い道であるため、運転者はじっくり絶景を見ることが出来ないという“致命的な”欠点がある。 車を運転する君は、トンネル(ニライ橋・カナイ橋の頂上付近)にある展望所に行け。 この展望所は、海からは多少遠いが、標高が150mもあるので、ニライ橋・カナイ橋の全景や太平洋を見渡すなどの素晴らしいパノラマビューを楽しむことが出来る。

Ayamaru Misaki
The cape juts out into the Pacific Ocean. The grounds of the observatory, which is located on a hill, are grassy and nice.

Tギャラリア 沖縄 by DFS
面積10,000㎡と、日本にある免税店の中では最大の施設で、LVMHグループが運営している。 LVMHがやっているだけあって、施設は綺麗でスタイリッシュかつラグジュアリーだ。 ファッション・ジュエリー・時計・コスメティックなど140以上の海外のスーパーブランドや一流ブランドが集まっており、日本国内の小売価格より最高で30％安く購入できる。 日本国内未発売商品やDFS限定商品などもある。 店内にはゴディバのチョコレートやドリンク、アイスクリームなどが楽しめるゴディバカフェがあるので、一休みすると良い感じだ。 「Tギャラリア沖縄」は、ゆいレールの「おもろまち駅」に直結しており、那覇空港から20分とアクセスも良い。 なぜか沖縄を出る航空券を持っていれば日本人でも免税で買い物が出来てしまうのが不思議だ。 ★購入について 飛行機への搭乗2時間前までにレジで精算すれば良い。 ※5時間とか半日くらい前までに購入しなければいけない他の国の免税店よりも、かなり“ゆるくて”、便利だ。 精算時は、飛行機の搭乗日と便名を伝えるだけでよく、パスポートの提示等は必要ないのもまた“ゆるい”。 購入した品物は、那覇空港の出発ロビーにある「DFS商品受取カウンター」で受け取る形だが、その際にはDFSで作ったショッピングカードと搭乗券を見せる必要がある。
