[JP; 2025] Day 4 - Okinawa | Kokusai Street
Day 4
Our last full day in Okinawa, and we spent it all on Kokusai Street! Kokusai Street is the shopping street in the city which stretches quite long. We made a few stops here and there throughout the day, and one of the ends of the street was 15 mins walk away from our hotel
TRIP CRAFT NAHA
We didn't plan much of Okinawa as it was supposed to be a long healing layover trip, but we loved the city so much - especially the Shisa (The Guardian Lions of Okinawa)! We saw this activity on klook and thought it was perfect gift to bring home.
Kokusai Street Handmade Experience (Naha)
We were a little late but the staff was friendly and allowed us in. They were quite limited in communicating in English. The store was quite packed with people in the morning - mainly family with kids!
We chose the painting experience and we get to choose our pre-made Shisa off the shelves.
This was my Shisa (before):
Calbee+
A must shop place for all the potato snacks!Calbee+
Fukusuke Tamago
We walked into an alley of shops - like a market, to find the popular Tamago!
Watching the tamago being cooked while waiting for our numbers:
Naha Shiritsu Tsuboyayakimono Museum
We were waiting for another food stall to be opened, so we popped in a nearby museum:
The museum was mainly around pottery and how it evolved over time:
It was quite a cool place to just hang out, chill and walk around if you have an hour to spare (or to hide from the heat).
Takoya Honten Naha Matsuo
This was the food stall that opened at 2:30pm.
As the exterior and interior looked very old japanese vibe eatery, I was very surprised that all the staff were foreigners. It was good in a sense that we could order properly in English, but still!!
They were popular for their Takoyaki:
Takoyaki was perfectly cooked on the outside, fluffy, yet mushy inner fillings. The sauce and spring onion can be a little overwhelming, but all matched well!

Blue Seal Palette Kumoji
There were blue seal everywhere in Okinawa but we only tried it at the very last day - which doesn't do justice to the yummy ice cream! Definitely a must try!!
It was weekend and the street roads were closed during certain hours to the human crowd - happy buying and we walked back to the hotel to put down the loots and rest our feet. (I didn't mention about Donki above, but I'm sure you know Donki is a must shop place in anywhere Japan).
Kokusai Street Food Village
It was rather packed and we stopped by this stall which had seats:
These didn't fill our tummies so went to family mart to buy supper that night - with our favourite bittergourd!
Leaving Okinawa with amazing memories :)
