At the end of October 2024, I had the opportunity to travel to Okinawa, Japan as a Solo Trip. This time, I booked Air Asia flights through Trip.com. Everything went smoothly. From Naha Airport to American Village, which is located in Chatan City, you can take a direct bus. It takes about 1 hour, which is very convenient. At American Village, there are many shops and restaurants. It is near Aeon Chatan, Sunset Beach, Depot Central, which is a very famous tourist spot. It is near the American military base. Various tour companies bring tourists to shop and take pictures. If anyone has time, I recommend going for a walk to find delicious food, watch the lights and sounds at night, and see fireworks every Saturday. #TravelJapanOnYour Own #tripFreeAccommodation #okinawa #americanvillageokinawa

Okinawa American Village feels like a dreamy place, filled with a nostalgic atmosphere. The sun shines brightly, the sea breeze blows, and colorful shops and cafes are everywhere on the streets, making every corner a photo opportunity. People leisurely stroll here, enjoying local food and culture, experiencing the American vibe mixed with Okinawa's unique flavor. The sunsets in Okinawa are absolutely stunning! As the sun slowly sets, the entire sky turns golden orange and purple-blue, with the sea shimmering like a painting. You can pause and enjoy this moment of tranquility.

You must make a reservation online in advance for Ryukyu Beef because there are very few seats and they don't usually offer walk-in seating! (💰 Average cost per person: less than 2000 TWD for a meal) The service is excellent, and you can order using a tablet, so there's no worry about not understanding the menu. There is a minimum charge. You can view the menu when making a reservation, pre-order, or order on-site without any issues! If you're bringing children, please be mindful of the noise level. After eating, take a stroll around American Village. Since it was a bit late, many stores were closed, but the Halloween decorations were still interesting, and the lights were on, making it great for photos! There are also plenty of parking spaces here, so no need to worry about finding a spot!

#japantrip I stumbled upon a tropical haven at Okinawa American Village! This beachside hub in Chatan Town, Okinawa, seamlessly blends American flair with Japanese hospitality. As I strolled along the sunset-kissed waterfront, I discovered eclectic shops, restaurants, and bars. The village's relaxed vibe, coupled with its stunning coastal views, made for a perfect evening. I savored delicious eats, from traditional Okinawan cuisine to classic American burgers. Whether seeking a romantic getaway or a fun-filled evening, Okinawa American Village is a must-visit destination. Its warm atmosphere and breathtaking sunsets have forever captured my heart.

Okinawa is home to many great steakhouses, and I especially recommend Chatan Harbor Brewery located in American Village! Enjoying a delicious T-bone steak with a glass of beer while overlooking American Village is truly healing. It's also a great place to visit with kids, so be sure to check it out on your family trip. 🍖Location: 53-1 Mihama, Chatan, Nakagami District, Okinawa 904-0115, Japan

Pork Tamago Onigiri 📍Japan 9-21 Mihama, Chatan, Nakagami District, Okinawa 904-0115 Japan ◽ 07:00 - 19:00 📋 Potama (Spam + Egg) 390 yen / Shrimp TarTar (Spam + Egg + Fried Shrimp) 650 yen Pork Tamago Onigiri has three branches: Naha Airport, Kokusai Dori, and Ameville. We visited the closest Ameville branch while staying at Vessel Hotel Campana Okinawa.😊 There were no separate seats inside Pork Tamago Onigiri, probably because there were many takeout customers. If you wanted to eat in the store, you could use the terrace seats in front.❗ The Pork Tamago menu has a variety of rice balls, from standard to special. I personally recommend the shrimp tartar sauce because it was really delicious. I want it 😋 (Of course, the basic potama is also really delicious) Even if it's not an Ameville branch, You can taste it at Kokusai Dori or Naha Airport, So I hope you try it at least once as a substitute for breakfast or a snack during your trip to Okinawa☘️ #Japan #Okinawa #OkinawaRestaurant #Ameville #AmericanVillage #AmevilleRestaurant #PorkTamago #JapanTravel #trip #okinawa

#100TravelWays The popular conveyor belt sushi restaurant #Circuit Belt Sushi Market Mihama in Chatan American Village, Okinawa, has a long wait during dinner time. It is very popular, affordable and delicious. Both sushi and fried food are delicious. There are not as many seats inside as outside. The decoration is simple, and it is obvious that it is an old restaurant. Since Mihama, where the American Village is located, is close to the sea, the seafood here must be cheap and fresh. Sure enough, the quality of the sashimi sushi is very good, and tablet ordering is also provided, so communication is not a problem. In short, just order a lot. The chef at the bar is enthusiastic and efficient, and the food is served quite quickly. When you come to American Village, in addition to tasting exotic cuisine, I recommend trying this #KaitokuzushishijimaMihama store. #Conveyor Belt Sushi Market Mihama Store Business hours: 1130-1400, 1630-2150 Address: 2 Chome−４−5 Oasis Building, Chatan, Mihama, Nakagami District, Okinawa, Japan 904-0115 #Okinawa Store Exploration #Okinawa Food #American Village #Conveyor Belt Sushi

#100 Ways to Travel Okinawa's representative delicacies include Okinawa noodles, shrimp rice, and Agu pork, as well as the meat and egg rice balls that are easy to take with you and eat. They are actually more like rice burgers and are a very popular breakfast. This time we visited Onigiri Breakfast in Chatan American Village. The bright yellow shop sign is very attractive, and the outdoor seats are close to the Mihama coast. It is quite relaxing to eat rice balls while enjoying the sea breeze. People usually order the basic flavor or the Okinawa specialty bitter melon pork egg rice ball, but in fact, fried shrimp tempura is more delicious, after all, we are in Okinawa! My friend and I each ordered the Chatan limited edition Taco Jalapeno and Fried Onigiri & Wasabi Tartar. Fried tomato, pork and eggs served with Mexican tartar sauce. The tomatoes and onions are sour and spicy, and the mustard is slightly spicy. It is very refreshing, but the pork is a bit salty, so it is better to eat it with rice so that you won’t feel greasy. Onigiri Breakfast also has branches in Kokusai-dori and other places in Naba City. The one in Chatan has fewer queues and an unbeatable sea view, making it a good choice. #onigiribreakfast Opening hours: 0700-1900 Address: 9-21 Mihama, Chatan, Nakagami District, Okinawa 904-0115 Japan #Okinawa Store Exploration #Okinawa Food #Chatani #American Village #Okinawa Meat and Egg Rice Ball #origiri

#DeliciousRestaurant #100TravelStyles EggSushiLovers, Run Here! 🥚 Whenever you come to Japan, you must visit a sushi restaurant, and this time, I chose Suido Gourmet Sushi for my trip to Okinawa. A great point is that you can eat 2 pieces of fluffy Japanese egg sushi for 1,500 won.🫶🏻🍣 I'll also introduce the location. ✔️Japan 〒904-0115 Okinawa, Nakagami District, Chatan, Mihama, 2 Chome−４−5 オアシスビル

Mihama Town Resort American Village is a large commercial facility in Chatan. It's a recommended spot that you can enjoy day or night, even in the rain! 🥳🎶 The colorfully decorated buildings make for a great photo spot 📸💓 It's also popular as a spot where you can see the beautiful sunset, and many people gather along the sea at sunset 🥰🤍✨ There are also a ton of stylish cafes and restaurants! 🥳🎶 There are lots of cute shops, so you can shop, rest at a cafe, eat, and do a variety of other things🌴♡ And the night view is so sparkly and beautiful🤍✨ Of course, I recommend going during the day or in the evening, but the best time is definitely at night🥹🎶 The site is very large, so if there is a shop you want to go to, it's best to check in advance which area it is in to make it smoother✍️ Everyone, please come and visit American Village🌺 #DomesticTravel #Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #OkinawaTourism #Chatan #MihamaAmericanVillageChatanCho #okinawa #okinawatrip #TravelWithMe

🏨MB Gallery Chatan by The Terrace Hotels in Okinawa🏨 is just a six-minute walk from American Village👍👍👍. The hotel lobby is beautifully decorated with strong artistic vibes💖💖💖, featuring an abundance of green plants🪴🪴🪴. Rooms include a minibar with a coffee machine, microwave, and refrigerator👍👍. The bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, bidet toilet, and bathrobe👍👍. The rooftop infinity pool offers a beautiful sea view🥳🥳🥳, and the breakfast is fantastic.💯💯💯

This was my second stay at a Doubletree by Hilton hotel. As part of the Hilton chain, the service and quality are quite reliable, and it's not too expensive either. Okinawa has three Doubletree by Hilton hotels, and we chose the Chatan Resort near the sea. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with this stay; there really wasn't anything to complain about, except maybe that the breakfast on the second floor was more or less the same every day. - The welcome cookie🍪 during check-in is something I always look forward to. - It's a 30-minute drive from Naha Airport, and parking is free. - It's right next to American Village, so as soon as you step out, there are plenty of places to eat and shop, which is super convenient (and you can see a lot of American military personnel staying there too). - The facilities include an outdoor pool with a slide, but you can also use the facilities at the Hilton across the street (gym, indoor pool, sauna). - The pajamas are super comfortable.

[GOOD DAY COFFEE] is located in a quiet area of ​​Chatan Town lined with foreign houses. There is a sea with a surf point nearby, and this popular cafe is very busy from morning to night, with surfers and tourists alike. The atmosphere inside the cafe has an overseas taste. The calm, surf-mode space was just right for spending a relaxing morning. The menu I ordered was "GOOD DAY BREAKY". Avocado, bacon, and a fried egg were on toast. The pepper accent was good and it was very filling. The cafe latte that I had with it was also delicious. I visited the cafe just after 7am on a weekday, but there were already a few customers in the cafe. Also, there are only a few parking spaces, so you need to be careful when parking. But sometimes it's good to get up early. How about having a morning meal while basking in the morning sun? [GOOD DAY COFFEE] Address: S-289, 178-1 Hamakawa, Chatan-cho, Nakagami-gun, Okinawa Opening hours: 6:00-14:00 (Sundays-13:00) Parking: Available #Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #OkinawaTourism #OkinawaGourmet #OkinawaCafe #OkinawaMorning #ChatanTown #ChatanCafe #Sakura2024

Whenever I visit Okinawa, I always have Blue Seal ice cream every day. My favorites are the purple sweet potato and purple yam flavors, though brown sugar is also delightful. These flavors represent the unique taste of Okinawa. While you can find ice cream cups in many places, I prefer the cozy atmosphere of Blue Seal shops, which adds to the experience. HK also has some specialty ice cream and gelato stores that I would love to visit! #winhkflight

When you come to Okinawa, you want to eat seafood. We are not going to the fish market today Instead, we came to "Steam Seafood" in Chatan Town. Come and see the delicious taste that makes us scream with joy! Enjoy the plump meat, rich crab flavor, and unique sweetness of the king crab, and enjoy a luxurious Hokkaido king crab feast. The chef adjusts the method and time of steaming and boiling the king crab to retain the unique flavor of the crab meat, and pairs it with fresh seafood to make this crab feast richer. This dining experience can add rich taste to special celebrations. The leg meat of the king crab has a unique sweet and fresh taste, and the whole crab stick meat is extremely tender when eaten hot. It is an excellent and delicious taste for those who like crab. 【Steam Seafood】 Business hours: 11:00-23:00 Address: 51-2 Mihama, Chatan, Nakagami District, Okinawa (next to Ryukyu Beef Chatan Store) #sakura2024

#日本韩urbanattractions Since there is no self-driving tour in Okinawa, we took a bus from Asahibashi Station to American Village. In fact, there are many buses that can reach American Village (it takes about an hour from Naha City) After arriving, we wandered around for a while and then went to Kona’s coffee restaurant for afternoon tea. The traditional banyu paired with thick cream is quite satisfying for those who like to eat cream😆. The drinks and banyu are also good, and the environment is very comfortable! After resting enough, I walked to the seaside of Chatan Park for a walk. If you come from July to October, you still have a chance to see the "Water Fireworks Show" of the Chatan Harbor Carnival here🎇🎇 #日本must-go check-in spot #Okinawa #Chatani Park #Okinawa American Village #ban㦸

For Okinawa, one of the most memorable attractions is the American Village. Each shop has its own characteristics, and every place will have a photo spot. In addition to many specialty shops there are also many specialty restaurants. The American Village in the evening is also a different scene, filled with intense festive colors when all the lights are on. When you get tired of walking, you can order two glasses of wine with friends at the bar and sit and chat slowly, or walk into an ice cream shop and order a colorful ice cream to finish your day's journey slowly. #Japan and Korea urban attractions #OkinawaAmericanVillage

#HotelReview ✔ The best 5-star hotel in Okinawa ▫Classic and luxurious interior ▫City view & ocean view ▫Check-in PM 15:00 / Check-out AM 11:00 The Vessel Hotel Campana, where I stayed on the first day of my trip to Okinawa, Japan, is a hotel in American Village, so it was a hotel with a great location because it was close to hot places wherever I went! The facilities were clean and luxurious, and the breakfast was even better than I expected, with a variety of seafood and sushi that you can only find in Japan :) If you're looking for a place to stay in a good location, I highly recommend it👍

The origin of the American Village in Okinawa? The American Village in Chatan Town is full of strong American style. It was a US military base colonized by the US military in the early days, so many US military family members lived there. After it was returned to the Okinawa government in 1981, it retained its original characteristics. The style was modified and constructed to achieve its current appearance. . Therefore, today’s Okinawa American Village has always been among the top spots in Okinawa travel magazines. In addition to a large shopping mall, there are also sunset beaches, various specialty restaurants, and a landmark Ferris wheel. It can be said that the living functions are all there. Everything. Everything you need is there, including food, clothing, housing, transportation and entertainment❤️ Why not arrange a day to experience staying in the American Village?

Okinawa changed to a second hotel to stay, this is a three-star hotel, but entered do not feel at all, the rooms for Japanese hotels to say very large 🫢 bathroom toilet and shower separate, can be used on both sides, do not have to fight. There is also a terrace, the view facing the sea, super beautiful 👍🏼👍🏼 The hotel lobby has free ice cream to eat 😋 and the staff service attitude is very good, the only drawback is not in the American Estate, to walk 5-10 minutes 🤥 but very worth trying

Today I went to the American Estate for shopping, there are many specialty shops where you can buy clothes or souvenirs 🛍️ There are also many different kinds of restaurants 😋 You can also go to the game center to collect dolls and drive, suitable for both adults and children Play 👍🏼👍🏼 At night is the most beautiful, will wear all the lights, you can take beautiful photos 😝 You go to the American Estate must stay until night, so you can feel the atmosphere and beautiful scenery🤭

Visited in December 2022 *Italian restaurant & bar Cocomio An Italian restaurant on the first floor of the hotel Cococious Monpa in Chatan Town😊 The pizza baked in the stone oven was exquisite and very delicious😋✨ The atmosphere was great and the staff were friendly, so I recommend it☺️ #tripmemory2022#Okinawa #Okinawatrip #Okinawatourism #Okinawagourmet

I lived at Okinawa, Japan for three years. An oldie but a goodie, American Village (in Japanese “Mihama”), is a great place to walk around and find places to eat. You’ll never get tired of seeing the sights because it’s different every season. I think AV is the best during the holidays as they put lights everywhere. Aside from the wide range of eateries, there’s a beautiful view of the sea alongside the edge of AV. Where I’m standing in the second picture is close to a nearby beach called Araha Beach. Here are some of my favorite restaurants (in order of pictures): Cafe 808 オークファッションビル, １F, 9-39 Mihama, Chatan, Nakagami District, Okinawa 904-0115, Japan Seaside Pancake Factory Kupu Kupu 15-58 Minato, Chatan, Nakagami District, Okinawa 904-0114, Japan McDonalds Blue Seal
