📆Itinerary: D1-Shanghai landed in Naha🛬, it took less than two and a half hours, the entry was very smooth, and there were no long queues like I saw online in the off-season. Just look for the Yushin Train at the airport and it will take you to Kokusai Street in about 40 minutes. This time I stayed at the JR Kyushu Blossom Hotel Naha. The room size is very suitable. I can go out with delicious food every day and buy whatever I can think of from the drug store.

Seize the key period of the off-season and off-season, when there are few people and good quality at low prices... 💰Per capita consumption: Flights and hotels for two people for 5 days and 4 nights are only 6K, and eating wagyu every day is only 400 per person. 📌Tips: International Express is more suitable for shopping at gourmet drugstores, while American Village allows you to dress beautifully and take photos [Clap]

If you're not driving in Okinawa, I really recommend joining a day tour, so you can just focus on taking photos 😂. When I took the bus to the outlying islands later... ✏ To avoid getting up early, I chose the classic North Line tour that meets at 8:45. We didn't get back to the prefectural office until 19:00. ✨ Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium 2 hours 30 minutes The only paid attraction worth visiting. Follow Crayon Shin-chan to the aquarium. The highlights are the whale sharks and dolphin show, the rest can be skipped. Two and a half hours is enough for a rough visit. If you want to explore it thoroughly, I suggest spending a whole day there, as the round-trip bus ride is time-consuming. 🐋 ✨ Kouri Beach 20 minutes Check in at Kouri Bridge. The sea in Okinawa is really nice. It was cloudy and drizzling at the time, but the sea was still clear and transparent. 🌊 ✨ Onna no Eki Nakayukui Market 20 minutes There is a store on Kokusai Street. It's a good place to stop and rest, and recharge your energy. ✨ Cape Manzamo 20 minutes (JPY 100/person) Well, it was backlit in the afternoon, but I did see a rainbow that day. 🌈 ✨ American Village 50 minutes Oh my god, it's like an open-air set. It's a bit... depending on your personal preference. But it's really good for taking photos, especially at night when the lights are on. The area is not small, so 50 minutes is a bit rushed. 🏰 💁 I weighed my options and decided to join a day tour, as I didn't want to tire myself out. It was actually quite good, and the time at each attraction was very precise. 😅 It was a bit rushed, maybe because I spent too much time taking photos.

Come to Kokusai Street in Okinawa, the primary task is to shop and eat. Let me recommend a few divine little shops I've visited! ✨Gourmet Section 👉Ryukyu no Gyu When in Okinawa, how can you not try the authentic Ishigaki beef? Just look at the distinct marbling to know the meat quality is exceptional. It's tender and juicy, and they even provide a Chinese menu, how considerate! 👉Shima Shabu Shabu NAKAMA Compared to Ishigaki beef, I recommend the Agu black pork here. The portions are generous, the meat is full and absorbs the sweetness of the broth, very authentic. Additionally, their pork patties are also quite delicious. 👉Pork Tamago Onigiri A popular rice ball in Okinawa, there's always a long line of tourists every time I pass by. Their pork and egg rice ball is quite solid, one is enough to fill you up, making it suitable for breakfast. 👉Blue Seal High in appearance and taste, the sea salt ice cream is especially popular. It's big, with a rich milky flavor and a slight salty taste, perfect for summer. 👉Nanmura A ramen recommended by locals, it's said that the broth is made from pork bones simmered for 20 hours, no wonder it tastes so fragrant. The owner is also generous with the ingredients, the large pieces of char siu are very appetizing. ✨Shopping Section 👉Toys "R" Us A shopping paradise where kids don't want to leave once they enter, the variety of toys is extraordinary. Just the Pikachu products alone are dazzling. Additionally, educational toys suitable for 0-3 year-old babies are worth buying. 👉Nishimatsuya A one-stop flagship store for mother and baby products, from diapers to strollers, everything is available, making it suitable for moms to shop. Plus, with the current depreciation of the yen, it's even more cost-effective to shop here. 👉Stussy A local trendy clothing store with reasonable prices. Their clothes not only come in various styles but are also very comfortable to wear. The staff are also very friendly, and I bought several pieces here.

The best way to understand the charm of a city is to measure it with your steps and slowly feel the breath of the city. Confident in our own physical and walking strength, we put this into practice, but in the end, we still took the bus back to the hotel. I thought that the small Okinawa Naha would be easy to conquer, but because it was too good to stroll around, the route was too long and we ended up exhausted. ✅ Itinerary: Kokusai Dori — Makishi Public Market — Tsuboya Pottery Street ✅ Introduction to 【Kokusai Dori】 ⭕️ It should be the busiest place in Naha, very close to Naha Airport and the port, shopping and transportation are very convenient. ⭕️ Whether it's Okinawan specialties, various foods, or cosmetics, there's everything you need, and if you don't know what to buy for souvenirs, just look around here. ⭕️ There are many shops selling ceramics and glassware on the street, with relatively uniform styles. If you really want to buy, you can go to the pottery street later. ⭕️ Many shops have glass boxes at the entrance with a coconut crab inside, if you want to eat, you can go to Makishi Public Market later. ⭕️ The purple sweet potato tarts here are quite famous, so we bought a pack to try, they are dry, just taste a little, not recommended. ⭕️ Miyako Island's snow salt ice cream, their ice cream can be sweet or salty, full of milk flavor, those who like the taste of sea salt must not miss it. ✅ Introduction to 【Makishi Public Market】 ⭕️ Makishi Public Market is right next to Kokusai Dori, the overall environment is much cleaner and tidier, more like a large fresh supermarket. ⭕️ In terms of price, Tomari Port is more favorable, but Makishi Public Market has many other categories besides seafood, such as beef, pickles, etc. ⭕️ Both markets have seafood stalls that can be processed, and the stalls have Chinese-speaking staff, so don't worry about language barriers. ⭕️ The market is divided into two floors, with sales downstairs and processing upstairs. The processing fee is additional, 500 yen/person, 3 styles, and the delicious seafood porridge only accepts cash💰. ⭕️ In Japan, noctiluca and giant clams are edible, and in the market, you can also see porcupine fish and coconut crabs, just like visiting an aquarium. ⭕️ At Makishi office, we ordered a lobster, a geoduck, and a scallop for a total of 15,900 yen, about 750 RMB, which would cost at least double in China. ⭕️ The lobster was half sashimi and half boiled in soup, the geoduck was sashimi, and the scallop was with garlic. Because they were all fresh, all the cooking methods were extremely delicious. ⭕️ The giant clam, which is often seated in China, has a special stench, and we didn't try it in the end. If you're interested, you can give it a try. ✅ Introduction to 【Tsuboya Pottery Street】 ⭕️ Passing through the Makishi office market, you can reach the pottery street. ⭕️ The pottery shops here are not big, small enough to accommodate 7 or 8 people. ⭕️ Each shop has its own characteristics, and I really like the time spent shuttling between these shops. ⭕️ There are several well-known small shops, such as Yacchi & moon, which have their own designed and produced pottery, as well as some mass-produced ones. In short, the pottery here has more design sense. ⭕️ It is said that most of Okinawa's pottery comes from this pottery street. If you pick carefully, there is always one that suits you. ⚠️ Notes: ⭕️ Because the route is quite long, it is recommended to rent a bicycle. ⭕️ Naha has shared bicycles, 1800 yen/day, but there may be no space when returning the bike. Also, there is a shop in Kokusai Dori that rents formal bicycles, but they must be returned before 7 pm, not highly recommended. ⭕️ Okinawa's Wagyu is very famous, you can find a place near Kokusai Dori to try Wagyu, but don't order too much, I'm afraid you'll be overwhelmed by the oil.

Okinawa is really an island that you can visit at any time during a Shanghai weekend, with cheap flights, a short flight time of just over an hour, and reasonable prices.☺️ ✅Cost: Airfare 1100+ Hotel 1500+ Gourmet 1000+ Local Transportation 300+ Hot Spring 100, about 4000 in total, you can save a lot on hotels and food ✅Transportation: 📍The city mainly uses monorail (you can use the Suica card, and it's worth buying a day pass if you use it more than 3 times) 📍The central and northern parts can be accessed by bus, car rental (cannot use a Chinese driver's license), or chartered car. It takes over 100 stops by bus, and it's slow. You can't rent a car with a Chinese driver's license, and chartering a car is not cost-effective for one person, so I joined a bus day tour ✅City attractions 1️⃣Kokusai Dori⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's the commercial center of Naha in Okinawa, known as the 'Miracle Mile of the Post-War', it's recommended to book a hotel nearby for convenience, and there's plenty to eat, drink, and play 2️⃣Shuri Castle⭐⭐⭐ A symbol of the Ryukyu Kingdom, it was almost completely destroyed by a fire a few years ago, it's a high point in Naha and you can also enjoy the city view 3️⃣Naminoue Shrine⭐⭐⭐ A shrine built on the beach, the foremost of the eight shrines in Okinawa, where you can pray for safety and others, and there are many people sunbathing on the beach below ✅Central and northern attractions 1️⃣Manzamo⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The name means a grassland where ten thousand people can sit, there's a cliff that looks like an elephant which is quite beautiful, be aware that the wind is very strong 2️⃣Kouri Island⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A small island in the northern part of Okinawa, passing through the Kouri Bridge connecting Okinawa main island and Kouri Island, you can see the clear, azure sea, and if you're lucky, you might see turtles 3️⃣Ocean Expo Park⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A park that even Crayon Shin-chan has visited, it includes the beautiful Churaumi Aquarium (with an 8-meter-long whale, which Crayon Shin-chan also visited), a folk village (recreating Okinawa's historical folk houses), and Emerald Beach (with shallow and blue water) among other places worth visiting for 3 hours 4️⃣American Village⭐⭐⭐ An American-style town with many bars, it's close to a base so there are many Americans, suitable for shopping and casual strolling, taking photos with exotic scenery, and those who love photography should like it 😒Regret: I didn't make a reservation in advance for a particular Ishigaki beef restaurant I really wanted to try, and was turned away at the door, remember to book in advance for the restaurants you're interested in Kokusai Dori

#OkinawaTourism I rented a moped and did a lot of sightseeing. The ocean is beautiful as expected. But my legs have gotten bad so I couldn't do any diving, which was a shame. I wasn't satisfied playing in the shallows after all, so I climbed up to a high place to look at the beautiful ocean. There are many ways to enjoy yourself, such as going out to a somewhat American-style town! The city is fun in its own way, and even though it's the countryside, there are restaurants and general stores here and there so you won't get bored and you can relax. There were lots of shisa, so we tried making one ourselves ^_^

What is shaved ice made with seawater? I ate it hesitantly and discovered a new taste. It's an incredibly delicious shaved ice. It tastes like seawater but isn't salty at all. I highly recommend it if you go to Kokusai-dori.

If you are staying near Kokusai-dori, a tour of the Makishi Public Market area is a must. In the market, you can find souvenirs that are full of Okinawan charm. You can also enjoy seafood on the second floor. After using the restroom outside the market, go out for a walk around the town. The nearest recommended shop is the general goods store MIMURI. They sell works by designers with a lovely touch, featuring motifs such as Okinawan flowers, fruits, and fish. You will also be greeted by the store's mascot, Chatkov. The retro alleys inside the arcade are also full of character. Please take a look. Address: MIMURI 2-7-8 Matsuo, Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture Open: 10:00-18:00 Average price: Postcards start at 100 yen Rating: Wonderful! #Naha #Okinawa #Shopping #Domestic travel #Market #Tourist spots

Mizutomi Butcher Shop is located in Kokusai-dori Norengai. You can eat sirloin steak for 1,100 yen for 200g and 2,200 yen for 400g. Rice is charged separately, but even so, I think the cost performance is extremely good. In addition to the best-value steaks, there are also hamburgers, beef tongue, wagyu steaks, sushi rolls, salads, and other menu items other than steak. The photo shows 400g sirloin, the same as the 200g sirloin. The 400g portion is served with two 200g pieces, so it's very filling! The quality of the meat was a bit off-putting for the price, but I was very satisfied with how delicious it was! I think this price is quite reasonable considering it's located in downtown Naha! #OkinawaTourism #OkinawaGourmet

1/22 Day1 (Part 2) ིྀThe third stop was dinner at #花琉球 The giant luminous shell sashimi is so delicious The wagyu BBQ is also delicious After eating, the boss asked us to take a photo So much fun❤️ #NewYeargoOkinawa

Looking for dinner on Kokusai Street. I went to an Okinawan izakaya called Yuka, which was recommended by an old man selling mozuku seaweed. The prices were reasonable, and they even had a live Okinawan song performance starting at 7pm! I got to hear a lot of Okinawan songs. It was great to be a treasure for the islanders. The somen chanpuru was delicious! #gourmet

Located on the second floor of Okashi Goten, famous for Okinawa's popular souvenir, purple sweet potato tart, the cafe displays works by Okinawa's leading potters, including Living National Treasure Kinjo Jiro and master Shisa maker Shima Tsuneyoshi. The cafe menu includes handmade stewed tofu hamburger, soup curry, and sweets made with purple sweet potato tart.

#tripmemory2022　#PhotoGuideAtTouristSightseeingPoints　#OkinawaTrip　#KokusaiDori　#OkinawaTourism KokusaiDori is the largest downtown area in Naha City. Along the street that stretches for about 1.6km from the prefectural office, there are many souvenir shops, restaurants, and other shops, so it is bustling with tourists day and night. It is within walking distance from all of the Yui Rail stations, including Prefectural Office Station, Mie Station, and Makishi Station, so it is also recommended as a tourist spot.

There are many Blue Seal ice cream shops on Kokusai Street💕 I like the Okinawan brown sugar ice cream, but I also personally recommend the crepes🥰 The price is also reasonable at about 500 yen✌️ Why not try Okinawan ice cream and crepes for dessert in the cute store? 🫶 #AutumnTrip #Gourmet #GourmetTrip #OkinawaTrip #OkinawaTourism #OkinawaGourmet #Naha
