2025 Naha Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

Don't come to Okinawa anymore! After visiting Okinawa, I no longer want to go to other tropical countries. This time, I spent 5 days and 4 nights on a self-driving trip in early June. Although the time wasn't very sufficient, there were just too many places worth visiting. Okinawa feels like a destination where travelers of all types can enjoy themselves! I've marked the parking situation at the places I visited, hoping to help everyone plan their self-driving trips! 🗺【Itinerary】 Day 1: Naha City/Southern Area Senaga Island (Free parking lot) - First, I picked up the car near the airport and drove to Senaga Island. Here, a row of white houses is built along the hillside, giving off a Greek and Italian vibe. There are many restaurants offering cuisines from different countries, such as Turkish, American, and Mexican dishes. It doesn't feel like Japan at all~ I ended up choosing a sea-view restaurant to enjoy a steak meal. The scenery was so relaxing. Gyokusendo Cave (Free parking lot) - About a 30-minute drive away, you can marvel at the wonders of nature that took hundreds of thousands of years to form. The underground stalactite cave boasts over a million stalactites. The tranquil and dimly lit cave is incredibly calming. Outside, there are various Okinawan cultural displays, such as traditional musical instruments and glass-blowing performances. If you're interested in Okinawan culture, you'll likely spend a long time exploring here~ (Note: Closing time is 4:00 PM, so plan your visit accordingly to avoid missing out on key attractions.) Originally, I planned to visit the DMM Aquarium afterward, but I was too tired and decided to postpone it to the next morning. Day 2: Northern Naha DMM Aquarium (Free parking lot) - This is a new aquarium in Naha. Unlike traditional aquariums, DMM Aquarium offers semi-open pools simulating shallow seas, complete with wave sounds and lighting effects, making you feel like you're truly at the beach. Besides marine life, there are also land animal exhibits and limited feeding experiences. I tried feeding a sloth this time—it was so adorable, hanging on a tree and slowly grabbing the carrot slice. Pokemon Center (Free parking lot) - Located in Aeon Mall, the Pokemon Center needs no introduction! Although it's not as large as the one in Osaka, for a fan like me, it was enough to spend all my travel budget there! Nakagusuku Castle (Free parking lot) - The ruins of the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom, located on a hill where you can overlook both the eastern and western areas. The stone-built ruins exude a strong sense of history! Shurijo Castle (Prefectural paid parking lot) - Unfortunately, the castle was previously damaged by fire, so what I saw this time was the reconstruction process. Side note: There are many cats and ducks nearby, super cute. Day 3: Northern Village/American Village Blue Cave Diving (Parking provided by the diving company) - The most recommended activity! You must go diving in Okinawa. Once underwater, you'll see tropical fish that you usually only see in movies or games. If you're not comfortable with scuba diving, snorkeling will still offer amazing views! Cape Zanpa Lighthouse (Free parking lot) - One of the few lighthouses in Japan you can climb. From the top, you can see nearly three-quarters of the view facing the sea—it's breathtaking! American Village (Both free and paid parking available, but it gets crowded starting at dusk) - The most beautiful spot! This place feels like a parallel universe, with American-style architecture and people from all over the world gathering here. After dusk, the area becomes lively, with music playing everywhere and neon lights on the buildings giving off a 70s-80s American vibe. There are also street performances and fireworks at night, making it hard to leave. Day 4: Nago City Nago Pineapple Park (Free parking lot) - A pineapple-themed botanical park, suitable for family activities. They also sell pineapple-related snacks and drinks—I regret not buying more! Churaumi Aquarium (Free parking lot) - This is probably the most famous attraction in Okinawa besides Kokusai Street. While the overall experience was good, I found DMM Aquarium's presentation more innovative and interesting. Churaumi Aquarium is often crowded, making it hard to take good photos. Some display tanks require queuing, which felt a bit congested and slightly detracted from the experience. Day 5: Okinawa's northernmost point, return car in Naha Cape Hedo - The northernmost point of Okinawa, about 50 km from Nago City. If the weather and your energy allow, it's a great spot to watch the sunrise. The eastern side is completely unobstructed, allowing you to see the sun rise from the sea horizon. Unfortunately, it was raining heavily when I visited, so I could only check in without seeing the sunrise. Hopefully, someone else can witness it for me! 📍【Must-Visit Attractions】 1. Diving in Okinawa 🤿! The shallow waters here are stunningly beautiful, filled with colorful tropical fish. This time, I joined a scuba diving session with Umi Diving Company. The instructor was friendly, could communicate in English, and actively helped me adapt to the underwater environment and took photos! 2. Senaga Island - Close to the airport, the European-style architecture is perfect for photos. There are various types of restaurants, and you can watch planes take off and land. If you're lucky, you might even see fighter jets. It's recommended as the first or last stop of your trip. 3. American Village - A must-visit place that you'll never want to leave. It has various restaurants, indoor amusement parks, and beautiful architecture for photos. It's suitable for all ages. Note that it's quieter during the day, so it's best to visit around dusk. Restaurants require reservations; otherwise, you're likely to encounter full bookings. 🥘【Must-Try Food】 Okinawa Meat Shop, Nago City - A small restaurant specializing in Shabu Shabu. The prices are on the higher side, but the taste is excellent, and the portions are generous. The black wagyu beef and Agu pork are tender and not chewy. The staff patiently explains each dish and how to eat it. 🏠【Accommodation Recommendations】 1. Naha Water City - Located within a 10-minute walk from Kokusai Street, it features an infinity rooftop pool. The hotel has paid parking, making it very convenient for different types of travelers. 2. Okinawa Arena - Under VESSEL HOTELS, located in central Okinawa near the US military base. The location is ideal for self-driving trips, making it easy to explore central attractions like American Village and Nakagusuku Castle. 📣【Self-Driving Tips】 Okinawa has only one highway; the rest are regular roads with traffic lights, which may take longer to travel. It's recommended to plan your itinerary according to the route direction to avoid wasting time waiting at traffic lights.

International Street in Naha, Okinawa, is undoubtedly a must-visit hotspot for travelers! This 1.6-kilometer-long street is brimming with lively vacation vibes from morning till night. With its Hawaiian-inspired scenery and colorful neon signs, you'll feel like you've stepped into a tropical paradise✨ International Street is always buzzing with energy: ☀️ During the day, explore various drugstores and department stores to shop for Japanese beauty products and Okinawa-exclusive souvenirs. 🌙 At night, the street lights up with bustling izakayas and barbecue restaurants, offering an equally exciting nightlife. 🍴 From Okinawa soba and sea grape rice bowls to American-style burgers, the street offers a wide variety of international cuisines. 🍦 Don't forget to try Blue Seal ice cream with unique Okinawan flavors like Salt Chinsuko—it’s absolutely delightful! 🛍️ Check out adorable Shisa-themed items at Culture House or local specialties at Ryukyu Market for the perfect souvenirs. Highly recommended: "Steak House 88 International Street Branch"! This iconic steakhouse serves premium Ishigaki beef and Okinawan domestic beef, with an average budget of around 2,300 yen. Its retro American-style neon decor makes it the ideal spot to experience Okinawa's unique steak culture. The restaurant also offers multilingual menus, making it very tourist-friendly! 📍International Street Details: Address: Makishi to Matsuo area, Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture Transportation: A short walk from Yui Rail stations "Kencho-mae," "Miebashi," or "Makishi." Business Hours: Most shops operate from 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM (some restaurants open until late night) Map Code: 33 157 382*41 Whether you're a shopaholic, foodie, or night owl, International Street has something for everyone! Make sure to set aside enough time to explore this endlessly charming street—it’s absolutely worth it! 🏝️

If you visit Shuri Castle, you can also stop by Seirai-in Temple for a visit. This urbanized temple is not very large and is vertically structured, yet it has everything you might expect. It serves as a spiritual haven for locals and is also a favorite among foreign tourists. The full name of the temple is Daruma Peak Seirai-in, also known as Daruma Temple. It belongs to the Myoshinji sect of the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism and is said to have been established over 1,600 years ago. The temple enshrines the Bodhisattva Kannon and was originally located in Ibomachi before being relocated to its current site during the Meiji era. Nestled in a narrow alley, you’ll know you’ve found the right place when you see the Nio Gate. On the first floor, there is a venue for rituals and events. As you ascend to the second floor, you’ll find a miniature version of the Thousand Torii Gates built on the balcony. Interspersed among them are the Daruma Hall dedicated to Daruma Daishi, the Two Deities Hall dedicated to Benzaiten, a miniature shrine for wealth, and an Inari Shrine. The colorful Daruma dolls for making wishes are located next to the Daruma Hall. Inside, you’ll find three stone Daruma figures in small, medium, and large sizes. Legend has it that if you can lift them, your wish will come true. On the third floor, in front of the main hall, there is a statue of Daruma Daishi. The temple staff say that touching the statue can bring blessings for exam success or good health. The solemn main hall enshrines the Bodhisattva Kannon and displays various amulets and ema (wooden prayer plaques). The ceiling features a vivid painting of a dragon, showcasing the centuries-old fusion of Buddhism and Shintoism in Japan. As a side note, during the Ryukyu Kingdom era, the Shuri Twelve Zodiac Pilgrimage was popular. Temples like Jigen-in, Ankoku-ji, Seiko-ji, and Seirai-in each represent guardians for different zodiac signs. If you visit Okinawa, you might want to find your guardian temple. 📍Address: 〒903-0813 Okinawa Prefecture, Naha City, Shuri Akata Town 1-5-1 🚗 Accessible by monorail: A six-minute walk from Shuri Station.

Tucked away in the alleys of Heiwa-dori, Hanagasa Shokudo is a place you might easily walk past if you're not paying attention. This time, during my revisit to Okinawa, I made sure to return to this charming eatery. Calling it a restaurant might be an overstatement; it's more like a small diner. The kitchen is run by Okinawan grandmas, who also take orders and serve dishes in the front. This eatery has been around for nearly 70 years. Although I didn't get to meet the founding grandma this time, I did enjoy the much-anticipated Goya Champuru set meal (ゴーヤチャンプルー). This dish is quite simple, made with cotton tofu, eggs, bitter melon, and onions. However, it carries the flavors of Okinawa's history. During the Ryukyu era, influenced by China, the Satsuma Domain, the U.S. military, and later self-governance, this dish evolved. It uses a Chinese-style wok and stir-frying techniques, Okinawan island tofu, American SPAM luncheon meat, and Japanese bonito flakes for seasoning—essentially condensing history and culinary culture into one plate. The set meal allows you to choose between celebratory red bean rice, plain white rice, or soft-cooked brown rice. It concludes with a small bowl of delicious red bean soup. In addition to stir-fried bitter melon, the menu offers over ten other options, including pork trotters, Okinawa soba, and fried pork cutlets. One noteworthy detail is the slightly sweet iced tea served at Hanagasa Shokudo. This tea has accompanied Okinawans for nearly 70 years. In fact, the tea is so beloved that it has been commercialized in collaboration with a major beverage company and is now sold in large bottles at supermarkets and convenience stores. This shows just how much Okinawans love Hanagasa Shokudo. 📍Address: 〒900-0013 Okinawa Prefecture, Naha City, Makishi 3-2-48 🚗 A 6-minute walk from Makishi Station

Prime location! Just a 2-minute walk from Makishi Station on the monorail, which is essentially the starting (or ending) point of International Street! Makishi Station is equipped with elevators, making it super convenient to transfer from the airport via the monorail to Makishi Station. Simply take the elevator down and walk 2 minutes to the hotel—effortless! For those driving, the hotel offers a parking plan for 2,000 yen per day. The parking spot is fixed until check-out, ensuring convenience whether you need your car early or late. The hotel staff will guide you to park. The hotel has various facilities, including late-night snacks, tea, and activities. However, since we were out most of the time, we didn’t use them. You can check other reviews for more details. As for service, communication in both Chinese and English is smooth. The staff is very polite and professional. During check-in, they even give each guest a flower as a souvenir. The room cleanliness is excellent, and we had a comfortable stay for three consecutive days. Oh, and the breakfast here is amazing! Don’t forget to try it!

Due to a late-night flight and a delay, I ended up spending more time at Naha Airport than expected. To my surprise, this four-story building turned out to be a great place to explore. The monorail station connects directly to the domestic terminal, and as you walk deeper into the airport, you'll reach the international terminal. Along the way, there are plenty of shops and convenience stores. BigCamera has an Air store here, offering small electronics, cameras, hair dryers, and more—perfect for last-minute purchases if you missed shopping in the city. Muji also has a "to Go" store, featuring travel essentials, clothing, shoes, and socks. If you run out of space, you can even buy a carry-on suitcase here. The drugstore ココカラファイン is as comprehensive as its street-side counterparts, making it easy to stock up on any forgotten items. Additionally, the famous Salt House, known for its salt and ice cream that attract countless tourists on Kokusai Street, has an airport branch here where you can buy snacks and various salts as souvenirs. On the fourth floor, the food court is divided into north and south sections. The northern area offers Okinawan rice balls, Yoshinoya, and Hokkaido curry soup, which always has long lines. The southern area features set meal restaurants and tonkatsu (fried pork cutlets). If you want to avoid the crowds, head to the southern section for a meal and some rest. On the third floor, there's a liquor art gallery where you can sit down, chat with a bartender, and enjoy a relaxing moment. Outside, there's a row of capsule toy machines where you can turn your leftover travel coins into fun souvenirs. Lastly, let's talk about the vending machines. In Okinawa, you'll often see vending machines promoting "local production for local consumption" beverages. These drinks are made with local ingredients and produced locally, allowing you to savor the taste of Okinawa one last time before leaving. 📍Address: 150 Kagamizu, Naha, Okinawa 901-0142, Japan 🚗 Monorail Airport Station: 3-minute walk to the domestic terminal, 5-minute walk to the international terminal.

#Overseas Hotel #Okinawa #Okinawa Hotel #Japan Okinawa Naha Mercure Hotel Honest Review (Mercure Okinawa Naha) I'm organizing a review of the Mercure Okinawa Naha Hotel where I stayed for 2 nights and 3 days during my trip to Okinawa.

Agu Pork Shabu-shabu Miruku Naha When talking about Okinawa Agu pork, most people will probably think of the century-old Furu family and the super popular Agu pork dish! However, for tourists like me who don’t rent a car and drive themselves, it is not very convenient to go to the century-old ancient house because it is too far away. I saw a recommendation for this Agu Pork Shabu Shabu online, but it's not very popular in terms of searches and discussions. It's located near the Kencho-mae Light Rail Station, making it more convenient for tourists who don't drive. Because we didn't make a reservation in advance that day, we rushed to eat as soon as the store opened for fear of not getting a seat. The space inside the store is very large and it is very comfortable to dine in. We ordered the Agu pork shabu-shabu set meal, which includes appetizers, meat plates, vegetable plates, noodles, eggs, and a special dipping sauce of yuzu pepper. The appetizers were seaweed salad, Okinawa specialty peanut tofu, and braised Agu pork. Among them, I preferred the seaweed salad, which tasted refreshing. Then, needless to say, the Agu pork plate had no meaty smell, and the meat was tender and had the sweetness of pork. You can choose to eat it in two different ways, with eggs or yuzu pepper, and it won't be greasy at all. The vegetable plate was the only meal we ordered, the vegetables were all very sweet and refreshing, and the simple way of eating it was very satisfying! When we were heading to the restaurant, we were taken there by a driver from the car rental company. When we arrived at the destination, the driver saw the sign and made a 👍 gesture to us, indicating that we had made a good choice 🤣 Even the local drivers recommended the Agu Pig Restaurant, so I recommend that everyone should go and try it if they have the chance! #Okinawa #Okinawa Agu Pork

Ryukyu no Ushi is famously hard to book. Originally, the International Street branch was fully booked about a month before our trip, but I kept checking for openings out of boredom and managed to snag a reservation when a spot opened up! (I was even considering staying a night in Onna just to dine at their Onna branch 😂). On the day of our visit, there were already many people lining up outside the restaurant. We had a reservation for the 5:00 PM opening time. Some online guides suggest trying your luck by lining up before the restaurant opens if you don’t have a reservation, but on the day we dined, there were no extra seats available for walk-in customers. So, it’s best to book in advance. I was filled with anticipation for this meal before we even set off, and it did not disappoint! Even my mom, who doesn’t usually eat beef, said it was delicious. I’ve tried barbecue at izakayas recommended online during previous trips to Okinawa, and they were good too, but Ryukyu no Ushi clearly offers a more diverse selection. The seating is spacious and comfortable, and the quality of the meat is excellent. Despite the marbling, it wasn’t overly greasy. After finishing the meal, my mom said that next time we visit Okinawa, I must book this restaurant again 🤣🤣🤣

🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: So many that you don't want to leave the hotel 📍Address: 2 minutes walk from Makishi Station 💰Average consumption: less than NT$4,000 per night for a triple room 💞Recommendation reason: Very cost-effective, many facilities, good service staff Because of this family trip, we booked a family restaurant with a good reputation. It really lived up to its reputation. If parents bring their children here, this place is completely sufficient. First of all, there are 24-hour beverage and coffee machines on the second floor. There is free ice cream and unlimited wine from morning to 10 pm every day, and there is ramen for midnight snacks at 8:30 pm. All of the above are free. The beer and drinks are local brands, so you don’t have to go out to buy them. There are many activities from 5 to 6 pm every day. I missed all the activities this time because I was out, but I still felt they were all very fun. The swimming pool is on the second floor like the hot spring. The atmosphere is great and has a holiday feel. The bed is also very comfortable to sleep in. One of the beds in the triple room is relatively small, but the rest are large. Although it compresses the luggage storage space a bit, it is still very comfortable. The bathroom is also unusually large, and washing is very comfortable. Please note that parking is 2,000 yen per day, calculated based on check-in and check-out time. Check-out is at 11 o'clock, so you can only park until 11 o'clock. But because we were too lazy to find a parking lot, we parked directly at the hotel. The parking lot staff were also very nice. #Self-guided tour #Okinawa

Every time I visit Okinawa, I make sure to stop by this izakaya. This time, one meal wasn't enough, so I planned for two. Upon landing, I headed straight to Ikesu no Ginji (Shintoshin branch), a place I visited last time. Unfortunately, my favorite sea urchin rice ball was replaced with a new version—sad. For the second meal, I decided to check out Mekiki no Ginji (Shintoshin branch), which has a Studio Ghibli vibe (P1). However, when I arrived at 5:40 PM, the daily specials of fresh shrimp sashimi and grilled prawns were already sold out! Key Highlights: 1️⃣ Always try the daily specials. Although the fresh shrimp was sold out, the daily oysters (P3) at JPY 400 each were incredibly fresh and sweet—a must-try. 2️⃣ My personal favorite and obsession is the sea urchin rice ball with raw egg dipping sauce (P2)—you'll miss it once you've tried it. 3️⃣ A general recommendation is the sea urchin sauce grilled oysters on a hot plate (P4). 4️⃣ Reservations are absolutely necessary. I usually ask the hotel I'm staying at to make the reservation, specifying the date, time, number of people, and even the end time. 5️⃣ For the best photo opportunity at the Studio Ghibli-style entrance, aim for around 6:30 PM. The lighting is perfect—just as the sky starts to darken but hasn't fully turned night, and the lights are beautifully lit.

This small shop is only open for a few hours each night I came here with the mentality of giving it a try, and I am very satisfied with the result! Just like the island of Okinawa itself Okinawan cuisine has its own charm No over-seasoning, fancy ingredients or presentation More emphasis is placed on highlighting the natural taste of the ingredients The way of ordering food here is very special Take a plate and choose your favorite skewers for the store to cook We couldn't speak the language, so we just picked the ones that we liked. The following are particularly recommended -Pork wrapped in grapes -Pork wrapped in Okinawa winged beans -Green melon -Pork wrapped in Okinawa sweet potato Super sweet and soft with a layer of sesame on top -Pork and Shiso Mentaiko Roll Now I realize that I like all pork dishes. It is not greasy at all when paired with the ingredients and blends well with the ingredients It is also paired with different seasonings to show the ingenuity of the store There is also grilled chicken, other vegetables and offal You can adjust the blind spot according to your personal preference. I personally can't get used to Okinawa's awamori, so I ordered yuzu wine which was pretty good. The boss is cooking skewers all by himself. You have to wait for the food to be served. It is recommended to reserve enough time for meals Store Name Kushiyaki Dangri-ya Atariya Store Location 〒900-0034 Okinawa, Naha, Higashimachi, 7−24 Tamaki Amita 10３ - Walking distance to Kokusai-dori, not on the main street Precautions -Cash only -Everyone must order a drink (even if they have some food) - This place doesn't have many seats. We can walk in if we arrive at 6 o'clock. It seems that you cannot make reservations online. It is recommended to come early.

I came to Okinawa Tomari Fish Market in the morning to taste what everyone calls the freshest fish in Okinawa. Sashimi, nigiri, sea urchin, freshly cut tuna... are all huge pieces and visibly fresh, and the whole market is very clean with no odor at all! You can buy directly and sit in the standing food area in the market to enjoy it, or walk back to the car to eat like we did, or you can also choose to order tuna at a table, watch the chef cut the tuna while you eat, which is really addictive. If you love seafood, you really can't miss this place. You can also visit the market and see all kinds of fish, which is very interesting! #Okinawa #Okinawa cuisine 🕰️Business hours: 7:00-17:00

On a beautiful morning, strolling through the alleys of Makishi Market, you might see people lining up for the famous rice balls. But if you're craving a refreshing and delicious brunch, C&C across the street is the perfect way to start your day. Their pancakes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, drizzled with mildly sweet honey and fresh fruits, offering a rich and layered taste. The toast paired with an omelet soaked in the aroma of eggs and milk is truly invigorating. Accompanied by a cup of aromatic coffee, whether you're enjoying it alone or sharing it with friends, you'll feel the happiness in every bite—leisurely and delightful.

The Okinawa First Makishi Public Market (Makishi Market) is located just a 2-minute walk from the "Makishi Station" on the monorail. The market offers a variety of seafood, including pufferfish and Ishigaki beef. The first floor is dedicated to shops, while the second floor serves as a seating area where you can bring seafood purchased on the first floor to be cooked. We picked a shop that caught our eye and bought some seafood. The staff guided us to their restaurant outside the market for cooking and dining. We bought fish, prawns, and luminous clams. The fish was steamed, the luminous clams were served as a cold dish and stir-fried, and the prawns were grilled. After trying all four dishes, we found the flavors to be quite ordinary, reminiscent of banquet-style dishes in Taiwan 🤣. The most unique dish was the stir-fried luminous clams, which were recommended to be eaten hot, as they become very tough when cold. 📍Address: 2 Chome-10-1 Matsuo, Naha, Okinawa 🕰️Business Hours: 08:00-22:00

Do you know the difference between Agu and Agu pigs? It's not just the difference between katakana and hiragana💡 What is an Agu pig? A "purebred" Agu pig🐖 Very rare, and almost none are found in Okinawa. A small, black pig that has been in Okinawa since ancient times Their meat is sweet, tender, and flavorful🤤 They are difficult to raise, and there are only a few of them, so they are a luxury item What is an Agu pig? A crossbreed with a little Agu blood in it. Agu pork mixed with foreign pigs, making it easier to raise and produce in large quantities🐷 It's still delicious, but it's cheaper to eat than "Agu pork" Of course, both are delicious😋♡ Please try it in Okinawa♪ This restaurant is "Agu Pork Shabu Shabu Specialty Store Shokusai Sakabou Matsumoto" 6 minutes walk from Yui Rail Kencho-mae Station 11 minutes walk from Yui Rail Asahibashi Station It's easy to access even without a rental car, so I recommend it💁🏻♀️✨ #Domestic Travel Strategy

📍Okinawa Prefecture This is a souvenir recommended by an Okinawa lover who visits Okinawa at least four times a year. All Okinawan gourmet foods are delicious, so it's hard to decide what to buy, but I picked out some must-buy items. Some of them are hard to find even in Honshu or at festivals, so be sure to check them out when you go to Okinawa🔖 ①Jimmy's Chiffon Cake Chiffon cake that is softer and fluffier than it looks The fact that they are sold individually is a nice plus Great for giving as a gift or for yourself🧁 Purchase at: Airport ②Okinawa Soba Okinawa Soba cup noodles that are hard to find in Honshu The small 3-pack or 5-pack sets don't take up much space in your bag, so I recommend them. Purchase at: Souvenir shops, supermarkets ③Royce Ishigakijima The ultimate collaboration between the north and the south The taste is unmistakable! And it's great that it's filled with various sweets✨ If you like something, you can buy it individually! You can buy it in Okinawa and Ishigakijima. Where to buy: Airport ④ Sanpin Tea If you like jasmine tea, you'll love this flavor Even if you're not used to it, it has no peculiar taste and is refreshing to drink, so it's perfect for the summer heat! I secretly recommend mixing it with soy milk 🥛🍵 Where to buy: Souvenir shops, supermarkets ⑤ Jimami Tofu Tofu made from peanut beans If you eat it thinking it's soy tofu, your brain will go haywire, it's like a sweet tofu. It's characterized by its chewy and bouncy elasticity It doesn't last long, but this tofu lasted about 5 days longer than others. It's a food that you can't get in Honshu, so check the date and decide how much to buy. Where to buy: Supermarket #OkinawaTrip #DomesticTrip #RecommendedOkinawaSouvenirs #Spring0YenTrip

When it comes to must-eat restaurants in Okinawa, this izakaya will definitely be mentioned! During this free trip to Okinawa, I specially included it in the list of must-eat foods in Shintoshin. This time I went at about 8pm and there was no queue. I walked in without a reservation. It was really good luck! However, a reminder to remember to book in advance. Walking into Muli Yinji is not only the decor is striking and interesting, there are seating areas on the first and second floors of the store, with tables and a bar. The menu is really easy to order casually! However, a reminder that the restaurant charges a table opening fee, which is ¥350 per person. The appetizer ordered sweet shrimp nothing special, must order chicken wings and grilled mackerel! ! The master immediately burns in front of him 🔥 and there is also a fire show haha ​​😂 目利きのGinji Shinto Shinmoto Sho 📍Address: 1 Chome-9-19 Ameku, Naha, Okinawa 900-0005 Japan 🕰️Opening Hours: 17:00-23:00 💰Average consumption per person: ¥1500-¥2000 💞Recommended: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

OMO5 Okinawa Naha 🏨This hotel made sightseeing in Naha even more enjoyable. The tours and activities to learn about the history of Shuri Castle were very fun! I was able to experience getting to know the local area deeply, so my satisfaction with the trip increased dramatically. 🛏️I stayed in the "Yagura Room". It was the first time I'd seen such a unique shape, and I couldn't help but get excited! There was a bed in an attic-like space, so it was like a secret base✨ It was fun even for adults, so I think it would be especially fun for families with children. It was also nice to be able to relax barefoot. Good points: ✔️Unique design The Yagura Room is built in a loft style and has a sturdy staircase. ✔️Relaxing space with tatami mats The room is covered with tatami mats, so you can take off your shoes and relax, so even small children can stay with peace of mind.  ✔️Independent design of the bath, toilet, and washbasin The water facilities are separate, and the Yagura Room in particular had a bathtub. The tiles are cute too 🟥⬜️ ✔️Storage space ingenuity The room was spacious and the room was designed to be able to store luggage neatly! 🍸Ryukyu Glass Night Lights Hours: Every night from 7:00 PM to 12:00 AM (last order 11:30 PM) About 100 Ryukyu glass glasses are used as lights to create a fantastic space. You can enjoy Okinawan alcohol such as awamori, rum, and craft gin supervised by famous Naha stores.  We also had Okinawa soba 🍜! 🧳You can leave your luggage in the lockers for guests, which can be used before check-in and after check-out, and enjoy sightseeing empty-handed. 🚙It's easy to access, about 10 minutes by car from the airport and within walking distance of the Yui Rail station, so it was convenient for sightseeing.
