A 2km to 3km long of shopping street in Okinawa, which houses a lot of shops selling souvenirs and local delicacy. In addition, the food village and famous public market are found here too. Not to mentioned, a lot of hotels are suited near this famous street too. A great way to immerse yourself into Okinawa culture and while spending your time walking & shopping around.

It's an interesting street where there are plenty of food options and retail options. There are also many side roads that lead to many other retail and food options. The street is always busy and crowded.

You find everything here from food, souvenirs and everything is fresh! You can go inside the fish market, pick your fish and take it upstairs to get cooked. It’s a must for me when traveling to visit these types of markets and this one did not disappoint. I found everything I was looking for and had an amazing time.

From food to shopping to experiences, Kokusai-Dori is the place to visit! The street houses dozens of shops, and restaurants around every corner. With the markets close by you can spend a whole day or two on Kokusai alone! Ramen, sushi, Traditional Okinawan meals, and more are readily available and makes this street so unique in Naha! I loved being able to walk to Tsuboya from kokusai and it's markets! Truly a shopper and souvenir finder's dream!

Awesome shopping street. Lots of things to shop, eat, see. Just take time to walk up and down the street. Prepare yourself to have lots of fun.

Nice location for shopping. Recommend going in the pm and having dinner nearby. Do not forget to taste the sweet potato candy (purple one).

Nice, tons of goodies and souvenir shops, also a very nice walk after dinner, a little bit crowded but that is what makes it special

Good place to walk around early morning. Shops open at 10am, many nice and fancy pottery if you have the budget. We bought a pair of shisa at one of the shop ( thinking it’s handmade and unique ) but turns out all the souvenir shops also carry this shisa .

Thoroughly enjoyed the street. If you are looking for pottery ideas or just want to see the different styles of pottery culture, this is a great place to visit right off the busy bustling Street of Kokusi Street.

Quiet street lined with pottery workshops and shops. Pleasant place to wander and browse, if not shop. Leads into the covered market (and fish market close by).

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.

the shops are small but they have unique and beautifully made options of mugs, bowls, dishes and some decorative items. a great place to go for supporting the local artists, and for buying special and delicate gifts.

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.

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.

It’s a tourist trap. A walk in the area and you will not find locals doing their marketing. There are 2 floors with small restaurants above selling seafood or mostly cooking the seafood for you when u bought it downstairs. Because it’s a tourist place, they have English and Chinese speaking staff at the eateries. It’s basically a seafood and premium beef market with some dry goods/ side dish stalls. Mostly priced higher than their local supermarkets. Each stall had some arrangements with the eateries upstairs. The seafood is mostly overpriced but very fresh. Depending on where you come from, it may be deemed cheap for you due to the exchange rate. Unlike some tourists around me having big prawns, lobsters and crabs, we opted for a simple and very satisfying meal.

May 2025. Mainly seafood market with restaurants on the upper area where you can have your seafood cooked the way your heart desires. This is obviously a touristic place but we enjoyed it. This is actually not a very big market as we thought but there was a lot of choices of fresh fishes and sea creatures, as well as some others Okinawa specialities.

It was amazing to try the special seafood in Okinawa! We tried coconut crab (椰子蟹), Tridacna (陣渠), great green turban shell (夜光貝), and parrotfish (鸚哥魚). The one of fish workers is from china, he can introduce the fresh seafood and suggest cooking methods to you in mandarin. He will also take you to a restaurant to enjoy the fresh seafood after you make your purchase. You can choose the cooking method, such as half sashimi and half fried/deep-fried! All the seafood was my first time to try!! I didn't expect the coconut crab to have so much crab fat and the green turban shell was very sweet.

Nice place for local vibe. But prices are tourist standards. Almost same as tokyo's tsukuji market area. But worth to visit once if happen to be in the area,as the seafood is really fresh.

Our lunch experience at Makishi Public Market was one to remember. We kicked things off on the first floor, picking out fresh seafood right from the local stalls — everything from vibrant cuts of sashimi-grade fish to a whole sea bream that caught our eye. The vendors were warm and welcoming, making the selection process easy and enjoyable. We brought our ingredients up to the second level where the real magic happened. The chefs there turned our picks into a delicious spread. The fresh sashimi was clean, sweet, and beautifully plated — every slice a bite of the ocean. We also had stir-fried bitter gourd with spam, a local Okinawan favourite. The bitterness was mellow and balanced well by the savoury spam. A comforting dish, especially with rice. Another standout was the prawns with eggs — silky and rich, yet not overly heavy. But the showstopper was definitely the sea bream. Cooked Chinese-style — deep-fried to a crispy golden crust and then finished with soy sauce — it was both flavourful and aromatic. Eating upstairs with our custom meal, we really felt immersed in Okinawan food culture. Fresh, interactive, and full of flavour — this was not just a meal, but an experience.

This place was truly amazing! We arrived hopeful and excited about eating here, and we were rewarded with spectacular food, friendly staff who spoke multiple languages, the cleanest fish market I’ve ever been in and so much more. We ordered a lot, since we were really hungry. We had lobster, fish, abalone, sea urchin and oyster sashimi. It was so good, we ate the whole thing and still wanted more. It was bursting with flavour, and the texture varied, sometimes crunchy and sometimes smooth. We ordered cooked fish and lobster porridge too, and it was really, really, really fresh and sweet. We ordered juice and beer, and both were splendid too! If looking for an authentic and cultural experience, I would definitely recommend.

It is not a big market but sufficient for a city. The variety and selection are not very wide, but they have the usual. One can buy the raw ingredients and seafood from the ground floor, and then the seller will send up to the kitchen that you have selected to prepare the food for you.

Nice shopping mall in Okinawa with a roof terrace and many department stores. My favorite was the floor with all the bakery and chocolates.

We visited at almost 8pm on a weekday hoping to find some dinners. Unfortunately most of the restaurant had stop receiving customers as they will be closing at 8.30pm. Even most of the supermarket side foods stalls at Basement 1 had most of their bentos / snacks sold out.. Overall, this shopping centre had lot of items to shop and eat, but pls come early. Haha.

This is a great place for POKEMON lovers. Over 500 POKEMON goods are displayed and available. Okinawa limited : POKEMON plush doll dressed up in EISA style and KARIYUSHI wear ※EISA is a traditional dance in Okinawa that uses native drums. ※KARIYUSHI wear is also a local traditional wear which people commonly say, the Okinawa version of Aloha shirt. Located on the 2nd floor of PALET KUMOJI department store. Business hours 10:00~21:00

Pretty large mall for Naha. Lots of gourmet food choices at the basement floor. There’s also tons of restaurants and shops here if you want to stay indoors.

Wide selection of food at the basement food court. Nice Saboten tonkatsu available here.

It's located on the top floor of the ryubo shopping mall. Go there to shop, eat, and watch the movie.

Expensive shopping center, caters mostly to older citizens. First floor has some good eating places.and an assortment of dessert shops.. Plenty of parking in the building and across the street.

This place has good selections of handkerchiefs and I was happy to get them for my mom. The only problem is it takes too long to get a tax return because there is only one line for it.

A department store which caters for the high-end of the society folks as compared to local department store. Like most of the department store, it has almost every things, like clothes, suit, suitcase, household & appliances etc. We only have a quick view of the department store and mainly went there for our dinner, Porco Rosso (western) café. It serves a delicious meal and seemed to be well received by tourists.

Really liked the Beni imo croquett from the supermarket delicatessen section on B1

Nice department store, on the pricey side really good food court section in the basement. Access to public washroom at all floors.

Good quality products. Nice super market at the lower level. Good bento and sushi box selection.

Although RYUBO is one off the biggest mall in Okinawa, there's really not much interesting in the centre to me except for its basement's establishments i. e. DonQ bakery, cooked food stalls and the supermarket. I really enjoyed taking my time to stroll the aisle and looking at the different types of fresh food and fruits. Five stars for the basement! 😁

Many items up for sale. The basement 1 foods section features many foods stalls with plenty of foods items for sale. There are seating space available if you decide to dine in.

Came around 7.30pm and there was already a Q. Thankfully it didn’t take us long to get a seat. You need to buy your meal ticket from the machine before being seated. If you don’t want to buy a drink, it’s ok as they provide free water. Quality of meal is good and tasty. Tried the matcha pudding too and it’s not too bad.

1/2025 My first Ichiran. Of course it was good… but the strange amusement park feeling was weird. I get that they want you to focus on your bowl of ramen, but that whole no-direct-communication thing was too 21st century for me, lol. (Maybe pandemic-perfect)

You can never say no to a bowl of hearty warm Ichiran when they are just around the corner. The standard ramen deliver at the absolute best form in front of you. Pleasantly surprised with the quality being controlled despite so many branches across Japan. The soup is wiped out again. Recommended to top up with the vinegar; warning on this as one bowl of noodle is not enough!

There was no queue when we arrived. However, as they don't have the exact number of seats to seat us together, we waited for about 10mins before being ushered to our seats. The ramen was flavourful and the texture of the noodles as what I wanted. Spiciness is also the same. Good eat!

When in Rome… couldn’t help but make Ichiran part of my trip. Came fairly late in the evening and still encountered queues, but moved fairly quick. Usual touchscreen ordering system, several languages available. Ramen was delightful as always, but atmosphere was not quite as enjoyable as normal. Loved that Orion was the draft beer keeping inline with local traditions.

Tried to come in on Sunday evening between 8-9. The queue was all the way up the stairs (is a basement restaurant) so we immediately aborted mission. Then, visited on a casual Thursday before 6pm. No queue, so no wait time. First you pay for the meal and grab a ticket and then waited to be seated. You get a paper to fill in your preferences (how spicy, rich, garlic etc.) and give it to the cook in front of your seat (windows go up and down to serve you). Spicy level at 3 was bearable, perhaps I could go for a 4 or 5. Nevertheless, a good experience and very fast service. Note: It's an individual sitting setup so may be a bit inconvenient if you are arriving in groups.

A very interesting experience, but I’ll leave that to surprise you… The ramen was great! Ordering kiosks have pictures so you see exactly what you are getting. I especially liked how you can customize your ramen… everything from flavoring, richness of broth, texture of noodle, plus many more. The broth was very nice and rich, but not overwhelming. And they serve the thin angel hair noodles that I prefer. The only thing I didn’t like was the portion of the sliced pork… pretty thin and skimpy, so recommend you order extras. Overall great, will be returning in the future. But avoid the peak hours to skip the long wait. ENJOY!

I’m so sorry but this was an unpleasant visit. Sashimi was below average. Freshness is gone. General option of fried food was also bad. 🙏🍻 only the bottled Orion was great!

In A Nutshell: -Churasan Tei was a pretty good izakaya restaurant. -I definitely chilled & stayed for a bit enjoying their fresh sashimi, Orion beer & awamori. -I was hoping to try out their coconut crab but they were out. -I highly recommend the Green Caviar Bowl highlighted with sea grapes & Okinawan uni. -The Okinawan tuna was also very fresh & tasty. -I wasnt too fond of the Giant Clam, but the sliced Squid Tentacles were yummy. Overall, I enjoyed the quality of the food here.

Apparently it's a popular restaurant among locals and tourists. If you want local Okinawa cuisines and ingredients, this is the place to be. I think I ordered most dishes with the names that I've never heard and with the ingredients that I've never tried. It was a fun experience! One of the dishes I tried is coconut crab miso soup. It was rare even in Okinawa and they don't usually sell it outside of the island. The taste was nothing special but definitely impactful for the photos😆 I wouldn't recommend to go alone because the portion is relatively generous and not too cheap. It's better to go with more people in order to sample different unique dishes.

Very delicious and fresh seafood. Unfortunately this restaurant allows their customers to smoke. It was very bad this time. Sandwiched between 2 smoking tables. Unpleasant second hand cigarettes smell. Revisited again. This time no customers were smoking. Tasty food enjoyed. 😛

Some of the best seafood I have ever had. Super fresh and delicious. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Slightly annoying that tax is added after and not included on the listed price. Definetly recommend if your keen on trying local Okinawan seafood.

This is a tasty seafood restaurant not far from Naha airport. Maybe 15min if you take the monorail then walk. The food was good and decently priced. Though it was a bit more than we were thinking of spending, we left happy. Heads up, there is a 300 yen cover charge per person, just for the table, and the food is on top of that. We had garlic buttered shellfish that was grilled. The presentation, smell, and taste were great! We also had tempura fish, which was fresh, hot, and delicious. That was my favorite! Lastly, we had the crab miso soup. The presentation was great, but the flavor of the crab meat had been boiled out into the soup, so if you are looking for really good crab, go ahead and get a whole one. (They are a bit pricey though!) There is free dessert if you ask your server. That evening, dessert was some fresh pineapple, and it was very good.

They have English menu and pictures. I had the green cavier, Natural mozuku vinegar (table charge), natural mozuku tempura (free item), trocas shell stir fried and the ryukyu awamori (okinawan alcohol) Nice service: They gave a free desert and a tempura dish
