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.

I first visited the Shrine back in 1966 and was taken by the simple, honesty in the Shinto religion practiced at this shrine. I had a favorite place nearby that I would go to watch the Okinawan dancers and listen to the native music. I returned in 1983 and saw how many improvements that had been made to the Shrine and It showed me the pride in the people that worshiped here. It was better painted, much wood work had been done and it was a secial place for me to visit when I was in the area and had time to stop and visit. I returned to Okinawa in 2001 and visited it only twice before I left with my wife in 2003. Once again it has changed a lot more but is still a beautiful, insprational place to visit. (The shrine is located at the top of a steep hill so please keep this in mind if visiting with elderly people or anyone with physical challenges like my wife and her breathing problems.) The shrine is has become a very beautiful shrine after all those years and continues to offer the usual charms to protect you and your driving and talismans for health, love, wealth harmony etc. I usually spend about 20 to 50 minutes here to walk around, let the memories come back, reabsorb the Okinawan culture and uniquely Okinawan architecture. I studied the Okinawan culture under Dr. Barbra Golden at the Maryland University in the mid 1980's and lived in Kosa (Okinawa City) at the time, shopped locally and went to all the old places that I used to go to back in the 1960's. Oh, and one more thing, this place has gotten much busier than it used to be, so go early to avoid the huge crowds of tourists from Mainland Japan and from China!!

It is well worth your time to visit Shuri castle again even if you have visited before on previous trips. I travel to Okinawa annually and fins something new at the castle complex each year. This year a new pathway through the Japanese portion of the casle takes you outside onto the castle wall back of the main building for a large panoramic view of the city. There is also new history an area will be planted in chrysanthemums as was in the past. There are new exhibits and performances and you should check on the events calendar because there are night visitation of the area lite in candle light.

When I made a brief visit to Naha in 2016, I took a taxi from the Airport to my hotel and generally used taxis for getting around .... until I discovered the Yui Monorail. Returning in 2019 for 3-days sightseeing/shopping, I planned an itinerary that involved the extensive use of Yui Rail. A 2-Day Pass purchased at the Airport (Y1,400) saw to all my travel movements for a full 48-hours and a further 1-Day Pass (Y800) carried me through the latter part of the 3rd day until my departure on the 4th day. As well as visiting the main attractions (such as the Former Japanese Naval HQ and Shuri Castle) the monorail also serves the main shopping centres/malls of T-Galleria, Ryubo and Aeon which are directly bridge-linked to the adjacent stations at Omoromachi, Prefectural Office and Oroku, respectively. Useful and enjoyable means of transport; good value too if you can get a lot of use out of your 1-Day/2-Day Pass. With the only commercial airport on Okinawa at one end of the line and the no. 1 attraction of Shuri Castle at the other, the trains always seem to be busy and nearing full capacity.
