[2025 Kitanakagusuku Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for Pokemon Center Okinawa (Updated Jul)

The most surprising stop on this trip to Okinawa was AEON MALL Okinawa Rycom! As the largest shopping mall in Okinawa, there are so many brands here, from UNIQLO, GU to BIC CAMERA. There is also the super fun Pokémon Center. The huge dog and Alola coconut tree at the door are super eye-catching. The Okinawa-limited products inside are super cute, and there are popular and unpopular characters! Pokémon fans will definitely go crazy!

In addition, there is "KOI Thé" in the mall. As an overseas brand of Taiwan 50岚, of course you have to try the Okinawa-limited mango green tea. It is refreshing and thirst-quenching, and it is perfect for a cup while shopping~ There is also a giant aquarium on the first floor of the mall, with colorful tropical fish in it, which is super beautiful for taking photos and checking in!

#5月好去地方2025 Address: 2F, Okinawa Naha OPA Department Store, 1-20-1, Izumizaki, Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture (next to Naha Bus Terminal/1 minute walk from Yui-Rail Asahibashi Station) Atmosphere/Facilities: The overall space is full of joy, and the entrance is greeted by giant Pikachu and Pokémon character statues from the Alola region! The interior is bright and spacious, with a check-in wall, peripheral display area, interactive game table, and Pokémon card table. The staff is friendly and enthusiastic, and will take the initiative to help take photos and recommend limited products. Features: ✔ Okinawa limited edition Pikachu wearing Hawaiian shirts and wreaths🌺 ✔ Limited edition charms, dolls, T-shirts, and canvas bags can only be bought here ✔ Compared with the Pokémon Center in Tokyo, there are fewer people here, making it more comfortable to visit ✔ Close to department stores and stations, it is a popular spot for sightseeing and shopping in Naha City Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) ⸻ [Okinawa Pokémon Addicted Place⚡] Limited edition Pikachu is so foul that people buy a suitcase explosion! If you are a Pokémon fan, or just like cute characters and limited edition souvenirs, Pokémon Center Okinawa is definitely a dream landmark that you can't miss when you travel to Okinawa! This Pokémon Center is not only in a super convenient location, but also in the "Naha OPA Department Store", and it can be reached in one minute from the monorail Asahibashi Station. It is simply the best starting point for sightseeing and shopping. As soon as you enter the second floor, you will see a giant Pikachu and stylish Alola Pokémon welcoming you. They are wearing floral shirts and Hawaiian-style wreaths, and they look super cute. Compared with other Pokémon Centers in big cities, the store here is not the largest, but the environment is more refreshing and the crowds are more friendly. You don’t have to squeeze in with people at all. It is perfect for shopping and choosing slowly. I originally wanted to "just take a look" this time, but I was immediately disappointed as soon as I entered. There are so many Okinawa-limited Pikachus, such as plush dolls wearing green wavy shirts, pendants holding banana fans, T-shirts and folders printed with summer totems, etc. These are all treasures that can only be bought in Okinawa stores, and they are guaranteed to make Pokémon fans around the world envious. I especially like an "Okinawa version of Pikachu eco-friendly shopping bag" printed with rainbows, flowers and tropical Pokémon characters. It is practical and cute, and the price is also very affordable. In addition to peripheral products, you can also play the Switch demo station, watch trailers, or exchange cards with other trainers. You can play for an hour or two in it. What's even better is that the staff will take the initiative to help you find products, and even ask you in a cute way, "Do you want to take a photo together?" They are especially friendly to children and will give out small stickers. The whole atmosphere is like a scene where childhood dreams come true, making people laugh happily. The checkout area is very efficient, and there are cute Pokémon sound effects to accompany you to complete your purchases. After buying the goods, you can go to the OPA department store next door to UNIQLO, GU, and LoFt to continue shopping, or just walk a few steps to the bus terminal and monorail station. The transportation is really convenient. In summary, the Okinawa Pokémon Center is not only a shopping attraction, but also a healing space that makes people happy twice. Whether you are a young person, a parent-child travel group, or someone who comes to Okinawa to relax by yourself, this place is definitely worth arranging. Reminder: Leave some space in your luggage, otherwise you will regret not buying enough! #Okinawa #AEONMALL #Pokémon #Pokémon fans must go #Must-visit Okinawa #Recommended Okinawa attractions #Must-visit attractions in Okinawa

Day 1: Nest Hotel Naha Kumoji The time of taking EVA Air flight is not that good, but it is a more relaxed trip with children. Next to the hotel is a yakiniku buffet. yakiniku-king The draft beer was nice and relaxing, a great start! Day 2 Pineapple Garden (Dinosaur Park) Recommended by: Lieta Nakayama コンドミニアムホテルNago Ryuichi Nakayama Food recommendation: Dajia Agu Pig Although it was recommended, I didn't make a reservation and didn't get to eat there, which was a pity. The scenery there is very beautiful, and I can imagine that the dining there must have been great. Day 3 Churaumi Aquarium/Kouri Island Food recommendation: Shrimp rice/Daizaemon Because I live in Nago, I unexpectedly found a very down-to-earth izakaya, Daizaemon. It is a very traditional pre-meal with towels and ice water. The overall price is cheap and the food is delicious, which is a very unexpected gain. Day 4 Children's Kingdom (Zoo) Recommended hotel in American Village: Vessel Garden Okinawa Hotel The accommodation is really good. We went to the nude hot spring both in the evening and in the morning. Unfortunately, it was too short to stay for only one day. The cost of eating nearby is higher, but still acceptable. The night is beautiful, it is worth staying for two nights Day 5 Okinawa ASHIBINAA Outlet/Eat at Itoman Fish Market Stay at JR Kyushu Hotel Blossom Naha The fish market is very cheap to eat at, but it was a bit rainy that day so I couldn't run much. However, the seafood was very cheap and delicious. I think it's a bit far away, so it's a bit of a waste to go there specially, but the scenery along the way is very beautiful and comfortable. We had dinner at Kokusai-dori. The line was so long, but we unexpectedly found a ramen restaurant. Hakata Ikkosha Naha Kokusai-dori Branch The reviews weren't very good, but we still rushed in to eat... It was really unexpected, very suitable for children. Not only was there a table for four, the grilled dumplings and ramen were very delicious. The child ate two bowls of rice, 20 grilled dumplings and a bowl of noodles. I was really shocked. Taking two children out for fun is actually not as difficult as you imagine. Sleep until 10 o'clock every day and then set out. Just arrange an itinerary. In fact, it is great to walk slowly and feel the different atmosphere. #Okinawa
