On my first day here it was windy and rainy. Now, the weather is very nice. I stay around here so I can just walk out of my hotel eat and shop around here at any time. There are many food and restaurants. Some open 24 hours.

This was an amazing experience!!! The street merchants where very cheerful and provide good locations for food and souvenirs. The Izakaya restaurant provided live entertainment. The interaction was electrifying. If you ever get a chance to stop and visit it’s worth the trip. Pro Tip: Have on hand local currency before beginning your journey. You will Thank me later. Enjoy!!!

Very interesting walking street. However, due to Covid-19 some are closed, or some close earlier. There are local souvenirs, vegetables, fruits such as mango, papaya, ananas, banana, clothes and restaurants. I bought cheap souvenirs and mango which was extremely delicious.

A nice tourist place destination in Naha ,Okinawa. A lot of shopping and souvenirs stores, restaurants. There’s also a nearby market place called Makishi Public Market where they sell fresh seafood and can be ordered to be cooked by nearby restaurants. Worth visiting if you’re in Naha..

Lots of restaurants and shops. Surprising amount of spam merchandise and orion beer. Nice lights to look at, fairly crowded.

Busy street with lots of restaurants and shops for tourists. Breeze from nearby ocean helps with hot days. Try out various famous dishes. Good for teens. Many places to listen to traditional Japanese music.

Perfect spot to buy some souvenirs and experience the local vibe. The are shops for every pockets and a lot of food places.

Kokusaidori is a fun and touristy street in Naha which is pretty clean and well organized. You can find many souvenir shops, restaurants, bars, and other fun stores here.

Too many shops. Too many things to see from souvenir to food to night life. However if u enjoy the city or shopping definitely not coming to this part of Japan. Take the drive and tour the island than staying hereeee. But do come visit for food.

Lots of shops, some with really tacky things I wouldn't expect from Japan. If you want some souvenirs you probably won't find a better place in the whole town.

Lively shopping part of town catering to tourists. Lots of good restaurants with excellent food. Some bars stay open late. Worth the visit.

Came to Okinawa for 5 days, and came to this shopping street for 3. Very convenient shopping street with almost anything you need and want. Lots of food and drinks here, also great place to get souvenirs. If you want to buy tax-free goods, I suggest you come by here but also check out Donquijote to get the best deals out of almost everything.

A well known shopping street in Naha city. We spent a whole day there for shopping, site seeing and food. Be careful if you drive there over the weekend during peak hours. Use public transport if possible.

The best place to buy and find okinawan souvenirs. There are lots of cool shops to explore around the street. Also restaurants and street food. It can be crowded sometimes, it's a must to visit this place while you're in okinawa!

Amazing amount of shopping and eating. You can get the Hawaiian style shirts and matching dresses, carttoon paraphernalia, souvenirs, alcohol. This is a must go area. Only minutes from the cruise terminal in Naha. Most stores open between 9 and 10 am

I love areas like this in Japan, and Kokusai Dori was no exception! It is definitely the big touristy kind of thing you expect but if you like that sort of thing like I do, then you will not be disappointed. There are tons of stalls, souvenir shops, food, treats, drinks, etc. Some things are completely overprices whereas some are really reasonable and even cheap compared to the US. I even saw a stall that had no employees, only a scanner for patrons to use themselves. This whole area was such a great vibe, and we never felt unsafe. But there are a lot of small alleyways and different paths, but I felt like there was lighting everywhere and a stall or two opened in every area even near closing time. This is a really fun place to walk and shop around, even if you do not but much and then you have the main street that stays open late that has all of the bars, restaurants, and other nightlife options.

This is an okay place to visit if you would like to shop Okinawa souvenirs at once. Nothing really impressed me since I live in Okinawa-si. I prefer things to be sold at shijo hon-dori, which is the traditional market inside of kokusai dori.

I really enjoy my visit here today. Entrance fees was 400 yen/adult. You can buy it at the castle at the entrance. They take card and cash. Wheelchair friendly. Unfortunately the castle are still under construction due to the fire in 2019 until 2026 I believe but it’s still worth the visit.

Nice tourist place to walk around, one of the signature spots of Okinawa. However it could be very hot to walk around during summer, so prepare drinks and hats or umbrellas with you to give you some shades while walking around. We thought that the castle was all original but it turned out that the prefectural government has upgraded and rebuilt most of it. Yet, lots of fun facts about the lost Ryukyu kingdom. There are both paid areas and free areas.

Although the Shuri Castle itself is under reconstruction in November 4th 2023 (Saturday), the time I’ve visited the site, there are still plenty of other views to see from up there. You can also enjoy its performances for free as well, but that will depend on the dates they plan to do these performances, so please check ahead of time with their tourist information. 10/10 worth to visit for sightseeing.

Unless you're a keen restaurateur and enjoy building work in progress it's not worse the money. ALL work will probably take another few years. The few places restored are not very well done in my opinion. I saw better ancient restored place than this one in Naha, Okinawa.

Seeing the reconstruction of Shuri Castle is truly a remarkable experience! While the fire that caused the damage was unfortunate, witnessing the rebuilding process is nothing short of fascinating. Initially, we were concerned that we might miss out on visiting Shuri Castle, but watching it being rebuilt right before our eyes exceeded all expectations. It's quite rare to witness such a spectacular structure being reconstructed in real-time. The decision not to close off the site for renovation but instead offer an educational experience for visitors to observe the rebuilding process is both amazing and clever. The dedication to preserving this historical site and passing down its legacy is truly commendable. The level of skill and artistry displayed in reconstructing this ancient building is awe-inspiring. Despite having the option to use modern machinery for fabrication, they chose to rebuild using traditional tools and techniques. This commitment to honoring their culture and craftsmanship in Japan is truly impressive and something to be appreciated. For those interested in craftsmanship, woodworking, culture, and architecture, visiting during the restoration period is highly recommended. Don't hesitate because some areas are fenced off for restoration – witnessing this process firsthand is a unique and enriching experience that shouldn't be missed.

We were surprised to learn that the castle had recently faced a fire and was in the process of being restored. The main portion that we were there to see was no longer standing. There is still much to see, and I'm sure they will do great restoring it.

Due to the very unfortunate fire, the main attraction is under reconstruction. There is not much else to see but I still wanted to visit. I'm glad I did but don't expect too much. When fully restored I'm sure it will be excellent. A pleasant enough hour or two strolling around.

Even though the main castle was burnt back in 2019, most of the walls and the park are still intact. The park was nice and has plenty of space to relax a bit. There were a lot of signs and explanations to the history of this beautiful castle complex. The gates were huge and pretty - which makes it still one of the must-gos in Okinawa.

The castle ground is huge. Plenty of walking and good all round view of the city from higher ground. Unfortunately the main hall was totally destroyed in a fire in 2019. Only the 2 sand stone dragon columns at the entrance remained almost intact but still was damaged from the fire. The main hall is currently being reconstructed and targeted to be completed in 2026. Still worth the visit to see the rebuilding progress at the same spot. Amazing skills of these craftsmen are exemplified in short recorded videos. Japan really value some of these traditional trades and skills. Will definitely come back again after the main hall is completed. Parking is available at 400 JPY. Flat rate for about 3 hours so you can also explore around the area outside the castle for food and snacks.

It was fascinating to witness the reconstruction of the main castle behind a glass window. The level of precision and accuracy to recreate it based on downsized markings is truly remarkable. I attempted to catch the sunset around 5:45 pm in early January, but unfortunately, got chased out as the gate closes at 6 pm. It's a good spot to visit at least once.

I was disappointed when I hear that Shuri Castle had been destroyed, but I thought it was still worth a visit to support the reconstruction efforts. Little did I know that you get an amazing glimpse into the process! There’s lots of information about various aspects of the build, such as materials, structures, and how they are incorporating traditional techniques. What’s even more impressive is that you can see the builders hard at work, watching it come together before your eyes. A cool experience, I’m glad they managed to continue engaging with visitors rather than shutting the whole site down during the reconstruction.

This castle is a popular tourist attraction in Okinawa and is visited by many. The admission fee to the castle is very reasonable. The castle has a very peaceful compound and visitors can climb to the observation deck for a panoramic view of the city. However, the main structure of the castle was destroyed by a fire in year 2019 and currently, a team of professionals are working hard to reconstruct the building. It will take a few more years to complete. Therefore, there was nothing particularly impressive during the visit.

While the main building burned down in 2019, the rebuilding efforts are now part of the tour. From the airport it takes about thirty minutes and costs about 2000 yen or $20. There is a fee to enter the main area, but the reward is a wonderful view of the Naha area of Okinawa.

Unfortunately, it is still under reconstruction and will be for the next couple years. Still an interesting place to visit, and watch how they are reconstructing it. They also have fragments of the old castle. You can spend about 2 hours walking around and there is a nice little shopping area nearby.

Nice place to explore! The main castle was burnt down though and so was under construction but we were allowed to see all the other parts that werent burnt down. They've got a fun activity where you have four stamp sites to make a cool post card for free! Staff were very friendly!

A must place to visit. Nice setting on the hilltop to see the panoramic views of Okinawa. They are restoring the main buildings, which may take years but no need to pay to enter the construction area. You can explore around the castle and find good historical spots and, of course, a few panoramic viewpoints.

Nothing to see like this castle burned and was reduced to ashes, but they continue to ask 500 yen fees just to see a wherahouse from the outside. 👎 I call that a tourist trap. 😡😡 Don't waste your time and money. Come to visit just the gardens, have few gates to see and this part is totaly free. 👍

Even though it is currently being rebuilt, this palace is a very nice place to visit, the history of the old kingdom always leaves its own history and beauty. from here, we can also see the view of the whole city of Okinawa

The Shuri Castle itself is under reconstruction but we still had a great time looking through the vicinity. ¥400 admission fee. There are viewing areas where you can observe the workers inside which is amazing. Try not to bring a stroller if you can, there are mosty stairs to get around to and uneven pavement.

This castle is currently undergoing major reconstruction work, yet it is a fascinating place as a result. It has been completely enclosed in a huge metal shed including a large 3 story workshop where most of the woodwork is being done on site. The work is being done with mostly traditional tools, helped by modern lifting equipment to help fit the parts. An astounding project! Plus the grounds are wonderful to stroll around.

Shuri Castle, located in Okinawa, Japan, is a captivating cultural gem with a rich history. Its distinctive red color and intricate architecture reflect the Ryukyuan style. The castle served as the Ryukyu Kingdom's administrative center for centuries. While the original structure faced destruction in World War II, meticulous restoration efforts have revived its grandeur. Exploring Shuri Castle offers a fascinating journey through Okinawa's past, showcasing artifacts, traditional costumes, and beautiful gardens. Visitors are immersed in the island's unique heritage. Despite its tragic past, Shuri Castle stands today as a testament to resilience and cultural pride, making it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and cultural aficionados alike.

This place is beautiful! It's still under construction as of now and is said to not be done till 2026, but it seems like they are really trying to showcase the process. There's so much fascinating history to this thing and so many beautiful sights. Id definitely recommend going, but it won't be in it's full glory for another couple of years.

This place as a cultural heritage was worth visiting few years ago. Nowadays you won’t find the castle anymore. The castle burned down in the 2019 and is currently in the process of renovation. There is a big shed built at the place where the temple used to stand and workers are actively working or reparations. It’s sad for travelers to not be able to enjoy the history as it was in the past , even though it’s not the first time the castle is being built from a scratch. The surrounding is still really nice and worth visiting. The entrance fee for visiting the “shed” and see the renovations is 400¥ , with that you can also enjoy the view of Naha city and a small garden surrounding the remains of temple.

Even though the main castle is still undergoing massive reconstruction, they have managed to make the attraction quite special and interesting my making the construction itself a part of the attraction. My family and I found it a unique memorable experience and enjoyed it. We visited on 成人の日 (Coming of Age day) and it was open and not crowded. The surrounding park was peaceful and well-maintained. I would not recommend wheelchairs or strollers here as there are many steep steps and the slopes are uneven and cobblestone-textured. Smoking is not allowed. Looking forward to the full reconstruction in future!

Streets are so beautiful here. You really get the feeling of old traditional Okinawa. Downside side is the shops are all about same and aimed for tourist who want to buy pottery. Not all come from Okinawa so ask shop keeper before buying. Bought some nice gift here though so all in all pretty happy I went here.

Randomly came across Yahimun Street and it is amazing! So many small traditional Okinawan pottery shops offering all kinds of styles. If you go further into the back alleys you will see the actual pottery makers at work. Great for a light stroll and window shopping. A must!

There are many pottery and ceramics shops around. Most of them have same kind of mugs and teapots but some have very unique designs. The prices are high but if you want to buy a Japanese pottery this a right place to go for.

This quaint Okinawan street housed many shops which showcase the craftsmanship in pottery, glassware and brass/bronze ware. It’s a nice place to explore and shows a different side of the busy city, which tends to have more shopping and eating to do. These photos are taken of individual shops which are different in character and style. A treat for anyone interested in pottery!

Short walk from Kokusai-dori. Plenty of pottery stores. A speciality in Okinawa. Beautiful pieces. Prices are high though. Not that crowded on a Sunday noon. Great for a casual walk. Worth a visit if you have the time.

Came for the festival and most stores had items at 20% off! It's a small street with a lot of shops and cafes. I thought the ceramics sold here were unique and not items I have seen in every place! I really loved how each shop carried their style.

A highly scenic and picturesque place to stroll through, especially recommended for pottery enthusiasts.

Quaint street with very nice wares for sale. Slightly expensive but very beautiful.

Wonderful and enjoyable spot to visit if you love pottery. You can spend more than an hour or so just viewing the different pottery shops. There are a variety of styles ranging from cute and modern to more traditional designs and glazing techniques.

Okinawan Tsuboya-yaki pottery. It’s a pottery street where you have have access to pottery craft, gift and experience. There’re not a lot of people when I was here (Tuesday 12:55 pm) but there are many pottery stores lining up along the street.

A lot of pottery shop , from very reasonable price few hundred yen to hundred yen . If you love Pottery this is the place you can’t miss if you visit Naha .

Beautiful garden! It’s on the smaller side, so great to do as a mini stop or if you have kiddos that can’t do long outings. Our kids (ages 10, 7, 6, and 4 year old twins) loved walking through the garden and all the little paths throughout it. We have a newborn as well and were able to use our stroller through most of the garden. Parking can be a little tricky, but there are plenty of pay lots around the area. ¥200 to enter, definitely bring/use some bug spray (mosquitoes). Beautiful place to visit if you have the time!

Peaceful Small Chinese garden with pond and small waterfall. 300 yen entrance fee. Entrance is opposite side of the park off the main road, backways are closed off.

This garden is so damn worth going. Advise is to go at 5 (winter), so that you can see the garden during the day, then sit until it becomes night time, when all the nice light displays come out. Feeding the fish was also pretty fun. Very pretty environment and architecture

This place is a beautiful Chinese garden located in Okinawa. Loved going through the path and seeing different flowers and structures. It felt as if I flew to China when I was roaming around. They even have a music in the background and it was well maintained.

Beautiful Garden! Highly recommended visiting. You can also eat or have a drink at the restaurant and the entrance to the garden will be included. It was 200 yen to enter. Feels extremely peaceful to walk around here!

This small garden is quite beautiful, and the waterfall caves are fun to explore. Even in winter there are still some flowers blooming because of the year-round warm climate. You can feed the koi fish, who seem endlessly hungry. It's a great place to take pictures.

Great place to visit, very peaceful garden. Has some waterfalls and koi in the ponds. Only costs ¥200 per person (adult price). The parking was down the street and didn’t cost us anything and we were there around an hour. Went during the day but during the night looks like it will be even better, will have to go back.

A beautiful Chinese garden in Okinawa, worth spending an entire day. A link between Okinawa and its historic links to China. Definitely a must visit if you are in Okinawa.

Not far from the city center, easily reachable, you will have to pay 200¥ (≈1.25 euros) to enter Fukushūen during the day, or 300¥ (≈1.85 euros) to enter at night. I would not call this place a must-see. Sure, Fukushūen is nice : well decorated with "photos spots", it allows you to walk along paths, enjoy ponds, Chinese monuments; you can also feed koi carps and take a nice view of the city since you can climb stairs and access to a tower. Still, the place is not that big -one hour, not even, and you're good to go. I think Japan has way nicer Chinese places, and Okinawa has much more to offer than this very small garden.

It's just a beautiful and peaceful garden. The ticket is cheap, totally worth it. The garden has a toral land area of 8500 square meters. It is a Chinese-style courtyard. There is a small café which also serves meals. The garden was built in the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the inauguration of the Naha City administration .

I visited this place with an adventurous co-worker. We luckily stumbled upon some cosplayers when we entered and they were very friendly, even letting me take some great pictures! The place is somewhat small but that's to be expected due to the limited space for development(Also, at the time of this post, approximately 1/3 of the garden was blocked off due to work being done). The garden provides a great opportunity to take some nice pictures and exploring every nook and cranny can yield some unexpected surprises. The local wildlife is will swarm you on-sight! The turtles and koi are more than eager to be fed!

Definitely a cool place to go to and take pictures. A lot of little paths to wear out the kids if you have any. Several ponds with Coi fish that you can feed, bring yen as they sell the fish food from the capsule machines. There's a parking lot down the block right across from the main entrance and cost us a 100 yen and we were there for about an hour or more. The entrance fee was cheap too, in total it was around 500 yen for 2 adults and 3 kids.

Small but very nice garden. Very quiet and peaceful. Nice waterfalls and views from rise pavilions. There is a nice restaurant connected to the garden which is nice to visit after visiting. Good place to visit while in Naha.

A beautiful traditional Chinese garden in Naha,Okinawa. This garden was opened in 1992 to commemorate the 10 year anniversary of the Custer city relationship between Naha and the Chinese city of Fuzhou. General admission is 200 yen. Children under 16 year old is free.

Lovely tradition gardens. History, beautiful sculptures, and I’m buildings . Relaxed peaceful vibe . Full of beautiful flowers and nature . Also fabulous service at cafe

Very beautiful chinese garden. The place is maintained carefully and you can get a nice and relaxing experience. There are flowers all over the place and beautiful koi fishes in the pond.

This is a must see garden in Naha! It has beautiful spots for photo opportunities! If you go, try to make it a little before the sun goes down so you can see it in the light as well as lit up once it gets dark. The price is very worth the visit- not expensive at all. They have bathrooms, plenty of spots to sit and rest, and drink/ice cream vending machines. If you want to feed the fish in the various ponds you can purchase food for 100Y. Biggest perk is it is dog friendly so bring your pup, but make sure they are on a leash and you bring bags to pick up after them if they go poo.

Beautiful, peaceful garden. It is well worth the price of admission to enjoy walking around here. I recommend grabbing a drink at one of the vending machines and sitting down at the seats provided to enjoy it while looking at the scenery.

🅿️ Find Parking detail from my attached Photo. Parking fee is reasonable. Garden 🪴 is serene and beautiful however it is quite small. Small fee is charged. There is a Cafe inside this 🪴garden. 😊 enjoy

Want to relax somewhere while feeding some koi fish? Come check this place out for about 200 yen. Fish food is 100 yen from a gacha machine, if you're lucky, you can get another free fish food ticket. There is also a restaurant on the other end. If you want to only go to the restaurant, you should enter from the other side. We spent about 2 hours here just feeding fish and enjoying the views. It's wheel chair friendly.

It costs 200 yen for a day time visit and they only accept cash. Garden is beautiful and has some fantastic photo opportunities. Not very busy after 4pm and sometimes they have some events/ live music. It's a 10 minute walk from the cruise terminal.

We went to Okinawa August 2021.. It was the peak of covid since the Olympics. I even forgot to check-in my location because of excitement..lol

意外に小さめだけど、 何でも揃っている感じの空港。 直結しているモノレールもわかり易いし 昔からこれだけ有名な島なのに なにしろその料金が安い。 街まで20分300円弱。 OKINAWAとかNAHAとか 到着ロビーに文字看板を期待してたわたし… そういうwelcomeサインは税関(国)との 施設所管関係があるからなのか どこも地味めなのですね。 空港1階の沖縄そばが美味しい、と 地元民の声。 (Translated by Google) Although it is surprisingly small, An airport that feels like it has everything. The monorail that is directly connected is also easy to understand. This is an island that has been famous for a long time. After all, the price is cheap. 20 minutes to town for less than 300 yen. OKINAWA or NAHA etc. I was expecting a signboard in the arrival lobby... Such a welcome sign is a sign with the customs (country). Is it because there is a facility jurisdiction relationship? Everything is sober. The Okinawa soba on the first floor of the airport is delicious. Voices of local people.

A clean and organized airport located in Okinawa. It has a few eateries and souvenir shops. There is also a food court located inside the airport serving mainly Japanese meals. The food court is not very spacious and the queue can be long during peak timing.

Small airport so the distance to terminal gates are short, restaurant options scattered about but very few once you pass security and free wifi. One minus is that there are only 2 bathrooms for the Japan Airlines departure terminal... with sooo many people streaming out of arrival planes and directly into the restrooms I can only imagine the level of cleanliness is not to normal Japanese standards. But if you love fighter planes the view is great! The Japanese fighter jets share the same runway as the normal commercial airlines.

For a medium sized airport there are lots of eating options and different shopping facilities here. Definitely a lot to occupy your time. One thing that was frustrating was a lack of money changing facilities within the airport. It's actually not a bad airport to enter Japan from overseas as customs and immigration are usually quick and painless here.

那覇空港です。民間航空便の空港と航空自衛隊、海上自衛隊、陸上自衛隊の航空機を主体する部隊や行政組織の沖縄県警航空隊、海上保安庁航空基地が飛行場内にあります。滑走路1本あたりの航空機離発着密度は、福岡空港に次いで2番目に多いようです。 ですので、利用客が大変多いです。那覇空港は24時間発着が可能な空港であるのも特徴的です。空港ラウンジは、制限区域外の国内線1階到着ロビーにあります。 (Translated by Google) This is Naha Airport. The airfield is home to an airport for civil flights, as well as aircraft-based units of the Air Self-Defense Force, Maritime Self-Defense Force, and Ground Self-Defense Force, as well as administrative organizations such as the Okinawa Prefectural Police Air Corps and Japan Coast Guard air base. The density of aircraft takeoffs and landings per runway is said to be the second highest after Fukuoka Airport. Therefore, there are many customers. Naha Airport is also unique in that it is open for arrival and departure 24 hours a day. The airport lounge is located in the arrival lobby on the 1st floor of domestic flights outside the restricted area.

The airport has been improved significantly from last 7 years. Domestic and international zone section are now connected with the indoor walkway. Interior design and flower 🌸 enhance the overall vibe. The only complaint is “why we have to walk from international to domestic in order to reach the rental car bus stop.

Since the corona is still at large airport is not as busy as it was . Social distances is bring observer. Helpful airport staff is visible around the facilities & the duty what i love most .

It's a small airport but really nice and well designed. A lot of flowers of the season and orkide The air conditioning is well balances and there are many shops around to get your need. There is a lounge also available Everything is clean and tidy and facilities are well prepared. Outside there are plenty of rental car companies and taxis. Also local bus just in front of the exit door

Being a small airport, arrival is easy and luggage waiting time is not too long, customs are helpfull, friendly and easy to pass through. Just a little bit long walking distance from the immigration to reach the airport railway station (10 mns). Anyways signage are very clear.

これまで何度か那覇空港には降り立っていたのですがトランジットのためで搭乗ゲート内から見える大きな土産物ショップに行きたくても行けなかったのです。 やっと今回の旅で夢叶い沢山の土産物を納得いくまで見て廻れました。満足‼ レストランも充実。 また、モノレール乗換え駅でもあるのでアクセス的にも素晴しい空港です。 (Translated by Google) I've landed at Naha Airport several times in the past, but because I was in transit, I couldn't go to the large souvenir shop that could be seen from the boarding gate even though I wanted to. Finally, on this trip, I was able to make my dreams come true and look around at as many souvenirs as I was satisfied with. satisfaction! There are also plenty of restaurants. It is also a monorail transfer station, so it is an excellent airport for access.

Naha Airport is new and extensive that housed both the Domestic and International Terminals for flights in and out of Okinawa Honto or main island. There many directional signages to help visitors navigate around. And, there are lockers for temporary storage of baggage and stuff, a lot of restaurants to cater for different taste buds, and lots of shops for last minutes shopping, too. The boarding of the free shuttle buses to take customers to the car rental garages of Times, Toyota, and many others are located on the ground floor at the far end of the Domestic terminal. The shuttle buses are lined up across the inner road and can't be missed. It is a long walk, though, with lifts and or escalators to take upon arrival and exiting from the International terminal. You will need to allocate adequate time for that, and in case you are lost along the way and may need help to guide to your desired pick-up point. It is in the same direction to the car park area and boarding of taxis and buses. My wife and I were fortunate and blessed to navigate ourselves to reach the pick-up point to catch the shuttle bus to Times Car Rental, where we had a car under reservation. It was a short ride to the Times Car Rental garage, and is similar for the other car rentals, which are located around the area that is easy for customers to return the rental cars and given a ride back to the Airport, where there are various transportation options available to choose from. The Yui Rail connects to the Naha Airport Station and is an easy and convenient transport to Naha City. There are many directional signages leading to and from the Naha Airport Station, with vending machines where you can select English for purchase of tickets to different drop off points in Naha City. The prices of tickets for different locations are displayed on the board, too. The ticket price is reasonable, as well. We paid 300 yen each for the ticket from Makishi Station to Naha Airport Station, whereas the cost by taxi was 1,500 yen that we paid for our ride to Hotel JAL City Naha, after we had returned the rental car at Times Car Rental. The check-in for International flights is located on the third floor and you take the escalator down to the second floor and turn left to join the queue lined up for Customs and Security Screening. Unless you are far ahead with lots of time to spare, head straight to Customs. In our case, the queue was very long, with the Customs and Security officials seemingly unable to cope and appeared overwhelmed by the sheer number of visitors exiting through the two security scanners, thereafter. We observed there are passengers who are likely to miss their flights given the long queue and under estimating the required time to clear. There are still many shops around after exiting the Customs and Security, including washrooms and water dispensers to fill empty bottle for the flights.

Nice mid-sized airport. A good amount of shopping for a smaller airport, with some variety, it has a bunch of lunges if you have the status to get in, there’s the most electronics charging capability I’ve ever seen, at every seat, quick and easy security, helpful staff all around. The fifth star is for the ease of public transportation—the monorail comes right to the airport, and it goes all over the city, and you can come here on a regular day or two pass, they don’t mark up the cost for the airport.

Big, many shops and restaurants but old fashioned and boring. Nothing unique. The best thing about the airport is the access to/from the central area, which is very good thanks to the monorail. Although there are many shops, they just sell the same things... Lounges missing windows.

I recently had the pleasure of traveling through Naha Airport in Okinawa, and it was a surprisingly delightful experience. The airport's smaller size and vibe brought back fond memories of my hometown, Kailua Kona, Hawaii. It was a nostalgic and heartwarming feeling right from the start. The food options at Naha Airport were a standout feature. Each outlet seemed to serve dishes that were not just delicious but also reminiscent of the flavors of Hawaii. I was particularly impressed with the great ramen, musubis, and Okinawa rice. It's not often you find airport food that reminds you of home and is genuinely tasty. The staff at the airport were friendly and helpful, contributing to the overall positive experience. An added bonus to our journey was arriving on a themed plane based on one of my favorite shows, "Demon Slayer." This unique touch made the travel experience even more enjoyable and memorable. From Naha Airport, it was about a 60-minute journey to our destination at the Ritz Carlton, where we celebrated our anniversary. The entire experience, starting from the airport, set a fantastic tone for our special trip. Naha Airport may be smaller in size, but it definitely left a big impression on me with its charming atmosphere, great food, and friendly staff.

Quite a nice airport for flying. The signage is simple, and it's easy to find your way around. Some of the entrances are blocked and won't allow you to get in and out. I was trying to reach to my friend since I left something as his vehicle after I gone into the terminal for my departure flight he had a tough time getting back to me since I could not get out on the street to locate him when he was driving by. Aside from that, there are quite a lot of restaurant convenience store 23 and game shops around to entertain yourself before the flight. Also, near my boarding gates, there was a portion of the seating area with quite a lot of charging station, so it was very convenient for me to charge my phone as well as my portable battery.

Even though the airport is quite small compared to other Japanese airport, the whole experience was really nice. It was tidy and clean. The staff was really nice and helpful. There were not many souvenir stores in the airports but most of them came with a wide selection, which was really handy before taking the flight.

Transport yourself to the sun-soaked shores of the Mediterranean at this exceptional restaurant! Every dish is a celebration of Mediterranean flavors infused with authentic Italian flair topped with japanese influence. From the vibrant salads bursting with freshness to the aromatic pastas and wood-fired pizzas, each bite is a tantalizing homage to the richness of both cuisines.

Whether savoring the seafood delicacies, relishing the traditional pasta dishes, or endulging on a perfectly cooked A5 Wagyu steak, dining here is an unforgettable experience that captures the essence of Mediterranean, Italian, and Japanese culinary excellence."

Good restaurant with a great view. The appetizers were the best part of the meal.

Ordered the Carbonara for my entree & tried the bruschetta tuna tar tar for the first time. Was delicious! Our waiter was very helpful as we were celebrating my wife’s birthday. Had gotten there right around sunset so the atmosphere was stunning. I recommend to everyone 10/10.

We had lunch course at Posillipo. First of all, the view is superb! We chose the outside seats and we could see the sea and airplanes landing at Naha Airport. The food was good. The Wagyu tenderloin was soft and tender! The staffs are attentive and nice. They have free parking so it was easy for us to come here.

Great place to get your Date of Family Out for lunch or Dinner, Hideout location, with Ocean View by the Sea side, Food and service, fantastic, Highly recommend

Wonderfully modern and luxury atmosphere with prompt service. The red bream in padella was flaky and well seasoned!

Absolutely amazing dishes. Didn't take many pics, too busy enjoying the food. Did manage to remember to take one pic and vid. 🤗

Restaurant had a very fancy feel with a priceless view. They had a range of food from 1,000 yen to 10,000 yen. We had the swordfish, ravioli, margarita pizza and brocetta as the app. All was very good and plated great. I wish the sword fish came with a starch or vegetable bit for the price it was great. The creame brulee was made perfect with a golden brown crunchy top. We also ate the tiramisu and that had a very strong taste of coffee(I think). It was great once we could figure out the coffee part. They do offer course meals and holiday event meals Parking is down the hill. Need to walk 5 mins. View of the airport was cool

Owned and operated by the same guys who run the famous Rigoletto in Roppongi Hills. Price is friendly and the food is “great”. The staff is very well trained. This is a great chain. I highly recommend the 3F rooftop area when it’s open during the summer months. Beautiful scenery, however do keep in mind it’s adjacent to the Self Defense Force’s airfield and the main airport. It is seriously loud with air traffic. Ordered the Squid Fritter, Meat sauce pasta and their pizza. The food is solid. It won’t win any awards but it is great. It is tightly run, well designed and presented. Also a great place to throw a party if you can arrange it.

If you like pasta you should try it in Okinawa. Service is good and food is delicious. Enjoy your sea view and take your time here. 1600 yen can eat a course set. Enjoy it.

We booked a table and went for dinner. We wanted vegetarian and none vegetarian food. The staff were very friendly and good atmosphere as they all call out together when orders are brought or people say goodbye. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. It arrived promptly and table was cleared in a timely manner. The home made lemonade was delicious as were the desserts. I would recommend booking a table it was quite busy.

Amazing location and view. Great ambience and setting. Food is decent. Food, drink and menu is very reminiscent of rigoletto's in Tokyo, which is under same ownership, but reflecting a sea coast setting.

Bitter gourd burger is their signature! Personally love it very much. The fried chicken doesn't look good but very very delicious, crunchy outside and juicy inside. Highly recommend.

Goya burger was interesting and not that bitter in flavour, quote enjoyable. Chops are great. Pretty decent but the shop and car service was the highlight.

Goya burger is a muts try. Personally, I love the sugar bun and cinnamon bun, very unique, very Okinawa. The chain store offers a drive through searing, meaning that you can order on your car and dine in in your car at the parking spaces in the restaurant.

Special Goya burger. English menu!

Older building and parking but food is great. Fast friendly Staff when ordering from your car. I didn't venture inside. Has a great menu, try the chicken nanban sandwich, it was off the chain. Chicken is from Okinawa as well.

A fun Locals favorite! As one of the original Okinawa burger stores, Jef, tastes like something you Okinawan grandmother would make you when you went to her house on a Saturday afternoon. Using Okinawa sourced foods, they are a good fusion of traditional Okinawa tastes and American burgers chains. It seems most of the food is made on site and is not shipped from a processor plant, which gives it a homemade taste like the old style U.S. Malt shops. Try the Fried Chicken!

This is the original okinawan burger!! Goya burger are a good choice

I am not a fan of the fluffly pancakes [everyone else LOVED THEM]! The staff was super nice and they have a large porch area for outdoor seating. The savory pancakes were all sold out. The black coffee was super delicious! After you order, you pay. Takes credit card and yen. Staff speak basic English. Plenty of parking g around the island.

Suggest to make online reservation or reach there before 11am to write down your name. If your number is 13th and more, it is likely that you will not make it for the first seating and have to wait one hour before there are seats. Good service, the male staff at the door did a good job dealing with customers' queries, bringing us to the table and taking orders. Pancakes were nice and we finished all of them. Coffee was normal.

The best pancakes I have ever had!!! I absolutely love this restaurant, the food is amazing, staff are friendly and the location is so nice. Highly recommend! There can be a line so definitely recommend arriving early.

Went on a Sunday. Wait was more than an hour (That’s fine, we chose to wait). Staff was helpful, spoke English. Pancakes were average honestly…I’ve had better fluffy pancakes in Japan so I don’t know what the fuss is about…

The pancake is super fluffy and immersed with the aroma of egg. The only downside is u need to reserve 14 days in advance or else u probably need to wait for half a day. P.s. just checked the price here is half of the Hong Kong outlet, quite amazing 😍

Really famous pancake store in Japan. Expect an extremely long queue. The pancake was nice and fluffy but the sauce and ice cream that went with it was slightly underwhelming. The banana milk was decent

We had both the omelet/pancake set and the pancakes with fruit and cream. The pancakes that came with the omelet were dry with no flavor and there is no butter or syrup. The pancakes with fruit also have no flavor and the fruit and whipped cream do not make up for the lack of taste. They try hard to emulate Hawaiian pancakes but unfortunately fail.

Wait for 1 hour 45 min + The Sakura pancake can’t taste any sakura taste, but the pancake really delicious, worth for long wait

Good food and beautiful scenery! The two are better together, even if the takeaway is still good!

Delicious… soft and not dry. The disadvantage is waiting for too long.. think it’s ok to take out

Food is amazing. View is amazing. Wait is a little long but the food is worth it!

We made the trek here from where we were staying in asakusa by cab. I can assure you, if you are reading this review. Don’t bother queuing up and waiting hours to eat fluffy pancakes. It’s SO NOT WORTH IT. As a red sealed chef, from Vancouver, I can absolutely tell you that the waffles served next door at the cafe downstairs are much better. That’s where everyone ends up as they wait their turn for fluffy pancakes. This is a good example of how the internet overhypes Instagram worthy foods to make them look better than they are. Nothing is worth waiting in line hours for. Especially pancakes. Don’t get me wrong, they tasted fine and looked cool but after eating them. I realized I and many others would likely enjoy regular pancakes more. Save yourself the trouble, you’ll just see other tourist here also.

The pancakes were absolutely delicious. The food is definitely five stars. I gave them four because they need to make better use of the space that they have. They have space that could be used to seat additional people and still not be crowded. We had to wait about an hour to be seated but there food arrived fairly quickly.

Definitely did not make me “happy”. The sign outside said it would take 15 mins to make the pancakes after ordering. I was happy to wait 1hr 20mins to get in (since I was told it would take this amount of time), but after waiting over 25 mins post order, they said it would take 15 more mins to make the pancakes. That is over 40 mins AFTER sitting down that you get the pancakes. I would not be able to make my next appt with this timeline so cancelled my order. I don’t care how out of the world the pancakes may be (cannot speak to the taste since I never got them even after around 2 hrs) but do not go unless you have unlimited time (or ask them how long it will take to receive the food).

I rarely give negative feedback, but this place really deserves my time to do so. Nothing against them, but their system and staff really need to improve ALOT in order to sustain their business. Many seatings were available but due to the lack of staff, many tables went uncleared. The queue just gets longer as the clock ticks. Every pax is required to order a plate of pancakes that comes in 3s. (We are totally fine with that!) Obviously, their kitchen are unable to catch up with their own requirement. After waiting for 1.5hr, only to be allowed for someone behind us to cut queue. There were 5 of us (with 3 elderly), yet a Taiwanese couple (2pax) simply approached the staff and asked for indoor, explaining that they have earlier requested for outdoor but since there is a table for 4 available indoor, can they have it, and to my very astonishment, the staff actually allowed so! I was standing right beside them when i witnessed it. Not wanting to create any scene, I kept my silence. I politely approached the staff to inform them that we are next in Q and can we help ourselves with the seats outdoor since the table has already been cleared amd vacant, but I was given a signal to wait. (Fine!) My last straw came when there was no one taking our order after 15mins. Eventually, we decided to leave the place aft 2hrs of wasted time and energy in the strong cold wind. Bear in mind I have 3 elderly with me. I really hope the owner will do something abt this if they are sincere for a long term in the f&b business.

Nice pancake!! Remember you can book online, but I think just have 1 reservation per time slot. You will need to wait awhile for pancake 🥞

Waiting for nearly 3hrs in an extremely bad weather. Ordered two limited editions including peach with rose jelly and three citrus fruits with yogurt + banana chocolate. First, the price is quite high. Second, the queuing time was extremely long. The restaurant is so small. The taste of the pancakes are good but not extraordinary. Just tried once is fair enough. 在狂風狂雨下等了三小時，吃一次就夠了。

A very good local foods buffet, heavy on the vegetable/healthy choices. Dozens and dozens of dishes to try which mostly taste quite similar. They have karaage (fried chicken) for meat eaters. I was surprised at the lack of Goya Champuru at lunch. Soft serve ice cream and good assortment of hot and cold beverages included in the decent 2000¥ lunch price. Located right next to the outlet mall.

I ate there twice during my trip to Okinawa, once for dinner on Thursday and the other time for lunch on Sunday. It was good value for the price they charged and food quality was decent. The restaurant website said the vegetables and fruits are locally sourced. It was busy at lunch on Sunday and the restaurant was not replenishing the food fast enough.

The price was reasonably good, around 1868 yen per person after tax for lunch. They had a satisfying number of options and many drinks options including beer, sake, coffee , juices and tea etc. it will be good for vegetarians because many dishes have vegetables and eggs yet for vegans there are limited options. If they are branded as vegetable garden then it should now slowly moved to more vegan options to get a wider audience. The food quality was good for their price. The ice cream really sucks. But for kids, whatever. Good place to bring kids. Lunch can last till 5pm.

So many different choices of local food. The king of buffets in Okinawa! Noodles, soups, vegetables, cakes, ice cream, and drinks are all included in the price (except the beer).

The food was good, and as I expected. It is certainly reasonably priced, and my meal was cooked well, and the juice I ordered was great. My friends really enjoyed their meals, and we had fun. The employees were kind and always smiled. Of course, it always helps to know Japanese while in Japan, but the people were patient with me as I tried to figure out what to say. The aesthetic is lovely, and I like the lighting at the entrance. Seemed very welcoming for families as well, with children's books available, and a kids menu. I may return sometime later. Maybe take some people who have never been.

We don’t like the food quality since it tastes not that fresh. Service is good.

This is an vegetarian healthy restaurant. Similar to Daikon no Hana but cheaper with a lot more options. The variety of foods was amazing. Staff is knowledgeable in English. They even grow their own veggies in a glass case. Very popular among the tourists. Will visit this place again.

Went for lunch and there are not many options, I thought there would be sushi but no. However, it was my first buffet in Japan and I'm satisfied with the experience. The price is not bad either.

近くのお店で美味しいそばのお店を聞いたところ、こちらを紹介いただいたので早速訪問。いやぁ美味かった。そばは大中小あり、小とジューシーを注文。そばはスルスル食べられるしジューシーは味がよくしみて美味しい。難をいうならもう少しお肉が大きいと嬉しいかな (Translated by Google) When I heard about a delicious soba restaurant nearby, I was introduced to this one, so I immediately visited. It was delicious. There are large, medium and small soba noodles, and we ordered small and juicy. Soba can be eaten smoothly, and the juicy taste is delicious. If it's difficult, I'd be happy if the meat was a little bigger

The staff were friendly and the noodles were so al dante!The portion was large too.

沖縄来たら、ソーキそばを食べるしかないと思いまして、ググッて行きました！ お店の横が駐車場になってます！ ついた時は、すぐ入れましたがその後、めちゃ混み始めて、待ちができてました！ 家族で行ったので、いろんやパターンのソーキそばを頼みました！ お肉の塊みたいなのは、発見とワクワクでした！ ぜひたのんでみてください！ ちなみに、うちは、おかんがそれを食べてました！チャレンジぜひ！ お昼どきでしたら、混むかもしれないので時間に余裕を持って行くことがいいと思います！ (Translated by Google) When I came to Okinawa, I thought that I had no choice but to eat Soki soba, so I googled it! The side of the shop is a parking lot! When I arrived, I put it in right away, but after that, it started to get crowded and I had to wait! I went with my family, so I ordered the Ironya pattern Soki soba! It was a discovery and excitement that it looks like a lump of meat! Please try it! By the way, my mother ate it! Challenge yourself! If it is around noon, it might be crowded, so I think it's good to go with plenty of time!

アウトレットあしびなーのすぐ近くです。空港も近いので旅行最終日などに立ち寄る形でも良さそうです。 入口はシーサーがお出迎え、少し甘めの出汁のそばとプルプルなてびちを頂きました。そばはストレート、色々沖縄そばを食べましたがお気に入りの一杯です。 (Translated by Google) It is very close to the outlet Ashibinaa. The airport is also close, so it seems good to stop by on the last day of your trip. Shisa welcomed us at the entrance, and we had slightly sweet soup soba and plump Tebichi. Soba is straight, I ate various Okinawa soba, but this is my favorite.

Crowd and famous soba place. However it taste so 👍

Nice!

good

Slip in here for some Soba and you will be pleasantly surprised!

Excellent noodle shop..

11:00-18:00 Thursday off
