What to do and see in Naha, Kyushu-Okinawa: The Best Shopping Malls
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.

One of our most memorable times in Okinawa was the bar hopping at Asato Sakaemachi. You may find lots of small local food stands and drinking places serving alcohol (including the locally brewed rice wine called Awamori) and different types of local dishes such as shell specialty shop, oden, yakitori, etc. We had fun trying many different stores over an evening, and had some good chat with the friendly locals. Highly recommended to visit in the evenings.
2. Aeon Naha Shopping Center

Close to Naha airport, this large mall can be either your first or last stop. Stop into Uniqlo, sample some traditional Japanese snacks or try your first taste of Okinawa's own liquor "awamori."
3. San-A Naha Main Place

Close to Omoromachi Station, this large mall caters mostly to locals and is quieter than other malls. Visit over 60 shops featuring Japanese fashions from brands like Lowry's Farm and Opaque Clip.

During this trip, we went to 5 or 6 shopping malls, mostly Aeons which is the biggest shopping mall in Japan. However, we like the San-A Naha main place the best. It was huge, had many retail clothing brands not found in the other malls and many restaurants and nice cafe where we had a sumptuous lunch. Can spend a whole afternoon here. Also great if you have time to kill before heading to the airport as its near to the yu rail station. We stumbled upon this place after passing by DFS and was looking for a place for lunch. I bought sports shoes and clothes and some stuff at Daiso too. Highly recommended mall. Have fun shopping!

This place is temporarily closed. Stop by to save on duty/tax-free fashions, electronics, jewelry, and more. There are two branches, one at the airport and this modern glass-fronted building 20 minutes on the monorail from the airport.

The last stop of our trip to Okinawa: lots of good products, notably cosmetic brands, and all at good price as the entire mall is duty free. Enjoyed the service and the location too (take monorail and get out at Omoromachi station, it is just in front). If you have time, in the same area you can visit also the Okinawa Prefectural Museum.
