The place is still not totally renovated as there are still some areas being worked on. We went on a very hot day so I think it would be good to explore the place during winter. They do have resting areas to cool off and just sit for a while while watching some documentaries about the castle. My kids enjoyed the interactive show in the entrance. There are free areas & paid areas to explore, I think it was around ¥ 400 for entrance fee for each of us with a discount for my high schooler (¥300) They also have a separate paths to enter & exit so you’re not bumping with everyone and anyone. The view on top is great as it’s gives you a 365 degrees panoramic view of Naha. Parking was ¥400 and there were lot of spaces too. You can’t come to Okinawa without visiting this castle at it was the seat of the Ryukyu Kingdom long long time ago. Worth a visit and highly recommended.

Okinawa famous travel location. Must visit if come to Okinawa. At here,you can buy the souvenir, experience the local culture and taste the local food. Recommend place for every traveller who visit to Okinawa.

(Translated by Google) I went there on the 3rd day after opening. It was crowded with many domestic and overseas tourists, and I was able to enjoy myself in the lively atmosphere where fun exchanges unfolded. The building has an atrium in the middle, and you can go up to the 3rd floor with an escalator. Elevators and stairs are also available. There is a grocery store on the 1st floor and a restaurant on the 2nd floor. On the 3rd floor, there are various multi-purpose rooms, a cooking experience room, etc. There was also a ticket vending machine. Also, radio related in the aisle? seemed to be doing a LIVE event. As before, say "lifting system", There are also shops where you can bring in the fresh fish and meat you purchased on the 1st floor and have them cooked for you. (Cooking fee is charged) Of course, it is possible to eat and drink by ordering dishes that are normally on the menu, such as bitter gourd champuru, Okinawa soba, fried gurukun. Affordable Okinawan restaurants are lined up like a food court with an old-fashioned dining experience. There is a menu signboard, so I think it would be fun to go around looking for your favorite store. Regarding payment for the stores on the 1st and 2nd floors, unexpectedly, cashless payments other than cash were also supported. The stores that can be used are clearly displayed at the storefront, and I also saw payment methods such as PayPay, credit card, iD, d payment, auPay, and LINEPay. I think it's cool that the payment methods have evolved to match the times, while retaining the goodness of the old-fashioned store. It is a barrier-free situation, but there is an elevator. There was also a wheelchair-accessible toilet. There is no dedicated parking lot. If you come by car, please use the nearby coin parking. In addition, there was a coin parking dedicated to motorcycles nearby. There was a three-dimensional bicycle storage area that I saw for the first time in Okinawa. It seemed that 8 units could be placed in one place. There were two of them. Although the number of bicycles is small, it seems that the bicycles are free. If you use the Yui Rail, you will have to walk from either Makishi Station or Miebashi Station. I think it will be a must-see spot for sightseeing in Naha along with Kokusai Street. (Original) オープンして3日目の祝日に行ってきました。 たくさんの国内観光客や海外旅行者で賑わっており、楽しいやりとりが繰り広げられ活気のある雰囲気に自分もわくわくと楽しい気分でまわることができました。 建物は真ん中が吹き抜けになっていて、エスカレーターで3階まで行けます。エレベーター、階段も使えます。 1階は食料店、2階には飲食店が入店しています。3階には各種多目的室、調理体験室等があります。利用券売機もありました。 また、通路ではラジオ関係？のLIVEイベントをしているようでした。 以前同様、「持ち上げシステム」と言って、 1階で購入した鮮魚類や精肉類を持ち込み調理してくれる店もあります。(調理代は有料) もちろん、ゴーヤーチャンプルー、沖縄そば、グルクンの唐揚げ等、普通にメニューにある料理を注文して飲食が可能です。 手頃な価格の沖縄料理店が昔の食堂感を出しつつフードコートのように立ち並んでいます。 メニューの看板が出ていますので、好みの店を探してまわるのも楽しいかと思います。 1階、2階にある店舗の支払いですが思いのほか現金以外のキャッシュレス決済にも対応していました。使える店はわかりやすく店頭に提示されていて、PayPay、クレジットカード、iD、d払い、auPay、LINEPay等の支払い方法も見かけました。 昔ながらの商店の良さは残しつつ、支払い方法などは時代に合わせて進化しているところがカッコいいなと感じました。 バリアフリー事情ですが、エレベーターがあります。また、車椅子で使えるバリアフリートイレがありました。 駐車場は専用駐車場はありません。車での来場は近隣のコインパーキングになります。 また、すぐ近くにバイク専用のコインパーキングがありました。 沖縄で初めて見るような立体式の自転車専用置き場はありました。1箇所に8台置けるようでした。それが2箇所ありました。台数は少ないですがさすがに自転車は無料のようです。 ゆいレールだと牧志駅か美栄橋駅から歩くことになります。 那覇観光には国際通りと併せて外せないスポットになるかと思います。

Best service. And Teamlab show is great.

Naminoue Beach is a small in-city Beach which is very clean and suitable for having a short beach walk, although it may not be very suitable for swimming. It is a beach which is popular for Naha school teachers who bring their elementary students for off-campus education and photos. Around the Beach, there are Naminoue Shrine and Gokoku-ji Buddhist Temple. Also, there are a few hotels and B&B, restaurants in nearby. Public toilets are available, in addition to vending machines.

There were many shops and cafes, which were selling foods and ceramicwares of good quality. It's quite an interesting place.

Visited the place for the first time on December 31 and found out lots of preparing being done for the New Year ceremony. Japanese people are usually visit Shrines at midnight. Nice garden is available nearby with a beautiful view of the ocean.

It is a great place for the historical perspective of Okinawa and its importance in history. Many things to see and learn. Occasionally they also have outstanding modern art exhibits from around the world. A must if visiting our living in Okinawa.

My wife and I recently spent a couple of nights in Naha and decided that we would walk to the bottom of this path and make the climb to Shuri Castle. There are side paths of the main route that might peak your interest. We spent most of the day exploring and walking around. When we finally arrived at Shuri Castle was amazed by the extraordinary views. Make a day of it. Pack a bento and enjoy.

I always have fun at the Japanese traditional market. This time, I bought 3 Star Fruits for 250 yen and tried them. It is always a great way to try new fruits at affordable prices. There were several shops that were selling handmade items. I wish I had more time to check them out. They looked very interesting.

A place with world heritage level but not crowded at all. It's so comfortable to go around the ancient garden and the house which was built for the emperor. Definitely take a look of this place when you visit Naha or Okinawa.

This is just a peaceful and beautiful place, with a lovely Chinese theme, 200 yen per person, is a small garden but you can take amazing pictures around here. The waterfalls caves under it, the fishes, few flowers, also the landscapes makes the place feels bigger. Few mosquitoes(bring repellent for it) they have a bottle on the front entrance but didn't worked for me.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Such a cool experience, walk over over Shurijo Castle and check it out!

Siren atmosphere full of historic and beautiful scenery. A place to learn about rich okinawan culture.

What it lacks in looks, it makes up with great service and being your gateway to some of the best islands around Okinawa. Onsite Sriracha vending machines are a big plus! 😁

great market place with different food and souvenir you can buy
