GREEN RIDE OKINAWA
グリーンライド沖縄Bike rentalEnglish spoken
GREEN RIDE OKINAWA is Okinawa Cellular's app-based e-bike rental with stations at resorts and cafés from Kouri to Naha and on Zamami, Aka and Tokashiki, costing ¥1,500 for the first hour or ¥6,000 for 6–9 hours, with English sign-up and foreign card and wallet payments.
GREEN RIDE parks the same Okinawa-built e-bike at hotel and café stations around the island, so a guest at a Motobu or Kouri resort can take a two-hour spin over the Kouri Bridge without hunting for a rental shop. The app and website run in English, Chinese and Korean, and payment works with WeChat Pay, Alipay and Naver Pay as well as cards, so a visitor can book without speaking Japanese.
The Kerama stations sit at Marine Shop IRIE on Zamami, Pension Sea Friend on Aka, and Tokashiku Marine Village and Hotel Kanaloa on Tokashiki, which helps on islands where most rentals are small counters that take cash. The bike has to go back where it started, and the saddle height is fixed. The operator recommends it for riders between 150 and 180 cm.
