May 30, 2021 Sachiko Swiger

Go from the 13th century to the 21st in one day in Naha. Its ancient Ryukyu Kingdom centerpiece, Shuri Castle, has been restored and is the city's top tourist attraction. Meanwhile, on Kokusai-dori (International Boulevard), the pace never lets up as locals and tourists hop from restaurants to bars to nightclubs.

We had the best sashimi EVER! Super fresh, cut in front of your eyes, for a mere 1,000¥ The sellers are adorable, they will have you taste preserves and smile, even if you don’t speak English. If you’re famished, go upstairs for the Japanese food court.

Easily to come here by Yui rail. We came here several time for shopping and food. It is a famous attraction in Naha city. So packed and crowded during night time. Visited on June 2019.

Yachimun Street

Reviewed By BZimm08 - Iwakuni, Japan

My wife and I have wanted to buy a pair of Shisha's since moving to Okinawa and by doing our research we wanted to buy them here on Yachimun Street. We browsed every shop and they were all kind of the same. Although we found a nice pair at a shop which I can't recall the name. Expect most shops to sell similar items with the same price tags. The street was cute though, it was a cobblestone road lined with cute shops and beautiful plants! There is a free museum here where you can see a kiln and other structures from one of the families that resided here. I guarantee after strolling around this street that you will buy something. It is a lovely and quiet street that is well worth visiting.

Tried the sashimi, grilled lobsters at the Tomari Iyumachi market. Comparing to Makiahi First Market, i personally will be more incline for seafood here for the cheaper pricing
