Ryukyu Kaiensai 2025🎆 In addition to 10,000 fireworks The on-site food stalls are definitely one of the highlights 🍢🍧🍻 The fireworks will be on at night, but they will start around 3 or 4 p.m. The whole street begins to be filled with fragrance🔥🤤 ✅ Super popular Okinawa fried noodles ✅ Fried chicken, skewers, grilled squid, classic Japanese snacks are a must ✅ Various fruit ice, shaved ice, and pearl drinks are essential for cooling off 🍹 ✅ Cold beer and local Awamori cocktails are indispensable 🍺 (adults are super happy) The kids will be happy too Because there are also some Japanese game stalls and toy shooting ranges🎯🎈 My little suggestion 🔖 ✅ Come early so you can take your time to browse the stalls and avoid the crowds ✅ Bring a picnic mat and find a comfortable place to sit down and eat while waiting for the fireworks ✅ There are not many trash cans on site. It is recommended to bring your own trash bags for convenience♻️ #GlobalTravel

Ginowan, Okinawa 🐥 A restaurant located a little way from the Ginowan Bypass! You can enjoy raw oysters, steamed oysters, steaks, and other dishes 😋 There were only two types of raw oysters, but they were rich and delicious! ︎ I also recommend the appetizers you can choose from and the grilled cabbage with blue cheese sauce! ︎ It was a shame that the wagyu beef tenderloin and potato salad I was looking for were sold out 😭 The appetizer was peanuts 🥜 There are limited seats, so I recommend making a reservation in advance! Perfect after playing at the tropical beach 😚 📍Oyster & Steak Gulu Gulu 〒901-2224 3-19-10 Mashiki, Ginowan City, Okinawa Prefecture ☎︎ 098-988-3192 #Domestic travel #Okinawa #Okinawa gourmet #Ginowan #Oysters #Summer gourmet #Okinawa travel #Recommended for dates

Ginowan City, selling a wide variety of focaccia, baked goods, and apparel products [TAROTOMARU BAKERS.] A popular bakery that specializes in focaccia. Opening at 9am, the storefront is lined with a wide variety of focaccia and other delicious-looking breads and baked goods. Each focaccia is very filling and satisfying! The baked goods, scones and muffins, all look delicious, and I ended up buying too many. The store also sells apparel products, and it's a stylish space that you wouldn't expect from a bakery. It seems that they often sell out by the afternoon, so I recommend visiting in the morning! They also sell drinks, so you can take some out with the delicious bread and relax at the beach or at the hotel.

I stayed at The Grand Hotel Ginowan in Okinawa for two nights before, and I felt very satisfied and enjoyed it. The hotel is in a good location, close to Naha Airport and Kokusai Street, and convenient to go to attractions in the north or south. The hotel rooms are very clean and comfortable, with large windows to see the sea view or city view. The rooms have balconies to see the sea view. They are neat, comfortable and clean. You can see the beautiful sunrise every morning. The hotel restaurant offers Ryukyu French cuisine, with a buffet bar for breakfast, and set meals or a la carte for lunch and dinner. I think the food is fresh and delicious, and the portion is sufficient. The hotel also has some facilities and services, such as gym, hot spring, massage, car rental, etc. But I didn't try it 😝 I used the hot spring ♨️ and it felt very comfortable and relaxing. This hotel is a highly recommended accommodation option. Whether for business or leisure, you can find satisfactory service and atmosphere here. 📍 3 Chome-5-1 Oyama, Ginowan, Okinawa 901-2223 Japan #Japan and Korea City Hotel #Overseas Travel #Weekend Travel #trip #Japan Travel

Restaurant: Naritaya Set Meal (Japan—Ginowan) Address: Ginowan, Oyama, 15−11, 2-chome, Okinawa, Japan The advantage of traveling alone 🛫, in that you can walk anywhere you can eat 🍽, and there are no restrictions, eat whenever you want, what you want to eat all according to your own preferences to choose; On the way back to Naha City from American Village in Okinawa, I was thinking of going to @jinoon_okinawa, a Japanese and Italian restaurant with quite high online ratings, to eat Pasta🍝, but I didn't open the door that day. Walking south along the main road, I saw this set meal Naritaya @teisyoku_naritaya brightly lit Most of the set meals in the restaurant are around 600 to 800 yen, including appetizers, miso soup🍲, and salad🥗. I ordered the curry chicken chop rice (850 yen), their curry sauce took two days to cook, eat rich and quite tasty, sweet and not spicy, rich and not greasy, but on the table is a little mushy looking messy 🤏, the most important thing is the fried chicken steak The portion is super large, there are dozens of pieces 🤣, although not much juice but not at all, the pieces are crispy and thick, freshly fried 🔥, big eaters can also unlimited rice or curry sauce 🍚, really quite affordable, perfect for people who want to cheap and want to eat full 🤩 PS: I accidentally spilled a bowl of soup when I was taking pictures, and the shopkeeper helped me clean it well. I didn't get angry but also gave me an extra bowl of soup. It was really nice🥺

#OkinawaTourism A&W is a franchise that is only available in Okinawa in Japan. People from Okinawa call it Ender! I always eat here when I go to Okinawa (lol) At the Makiminato store, you can order and eat and drink on the spot using the drive-in method that originated in the United States. When you press the intercom next to the menu to order, a staff member will bring it to your car. And when you think of A&W, you think of root beer! It has a unique flavor, but once you start drinking it, you won't be able to stop. You can get free refills of root beer. Please give it a try!

A cafe with a cute exterior that I've always been interested in☕️✨ It's located in Ginowan, Okinawa☺︎ The exterior is based on white, and the pink flowers are just too cute🌺 The cafe is on the first floor😋 I only got a takeaway cafe latte☕️✨ They also serve lunch, and the interior is a relaxing space with wooden tables and lots of potted plants🌿 It seems they use ingredients from the prefecture! Next time I'd like to have lunch there too☺️⭕️ The photos of the tableware are from mofgmona no zakka, which is on the 3rd floor of the same building🤍✨ You can also enjoy shopping for tableware and miscellaneous goods🌟 There are a lot of fragile items, so it may be difficult for children💦 There were tableware of various tastes and it was very difficult to choose, but I bought a tea bowl for myself🌴 It's a fun space just to look at the items☺︎ Please come and visit if you are looking for cute tableware🤩 📍2-1-29-1F Ginowan, Ginowan City (cafe) & Room 301 (zakka) There was also a parking lot‼ ️ It was spacious and easy to park😌 #OkinawaTourism#OkinawaCafe#OkinawaLunch

Okinawa, called the Hawaii of Asia, has a really romantic and beautiful emerald beach. 📍How to get there by public transportation There are so many buses such as No. 27, No. 32, No. 77, and No. 120 from Naha International Street, so it's convenient to use Google Maps. It takes about 40 minutes by public transportation, and you have to get off at Mashiki Station and walk another 2km. I rented a bicycle and rode it, and it took about an hour using Google Maps! It was an easy road with almost no uphill climbs, and the scenery was beautiful ♥ 🌴 I really like palm trees in Southeast Asia, but I didn't know I would see so many palm trees here in Japan. There are so many palm trees in Okinawa! It feels like a resort ♥🌴 Once you arrive at Tropical Beach, it's like another world. The water was really emerald, and it felt like a tropical beach, just like its name! Haha The water is shallow and the sand is very fine, so it's a great place to play with kids at the beach. ♡ #beach #japantravel #japan #okinawa #okinawatravel #tropicalbeach

Store name 🏠 King Tacos Nagata Store Address 📍 3-1-1 Ginowan, Ginowan City, Okinawa Budget per person: 800~ Rating (out of 5): ★★★★★ Points * A popular taco specialty store in Okinawa. It is called Kintaco and is very popular with tourists and locals alike. * As of March 2023, there are 6 stores. (I couldn't find the website, so I checked Google Maps) * There are no stores in Naha City, so the closest one is the "Nagata Store" in Ginowan City that I visited this time. The store is right next to the intersection, but the parking lot is a little difficult to find, so first-time visitors may have a hard time finding it. * The portions are amazing. If you're eating tacos and taco rice, I think two women who can eat a normal amount of tacos and taco rice will be full even if they order 4 pieces of tacos and one bowl of taco rice and share them. *Normal taco rice is rice and meat, so if you want lettuce and cheese, order the "Taco Rice Cheese Vegetables"! #OkinawaTourism #OkinawaTrip #OkinawaGourmet #KingTacos #KinTaco #DeliciousTacoRice

Futenma Shrine is located right next to the Futenma bus stop. The worship hall has a typical Okinawan feel. If you come, be sure to also visit the Futenma Shrine Cave. Please note that admission is required. There you will find a mysterious shrine and world. *Photography is prohibited inside the Futenma Shrine Cave. #OkinawaTourism #FutenmaShrine #Futenma #Cave

Visited in December 2022 *Sazen A Japanese restaurant in Ginowan City Everything I ate was delicious😊 The antique-style interior had a mature atmosphere and was very nice✨ The recently opened Prince Hotel is nearby and you can walk there from the hotel, so I recommend it😊 #tripmemory2022#Okinawa #Okinawatrip #Okinawatourism #Okinawagourmet

#Japan Attractions #What will you do on January 1st JapaneseNew Year? #三社参り⛩ #grab a fukubag🛍 #ShrineLunar New Year open until 11pm 😍😍👇🏻 #Okinawa Good places to visit during the New Year #New YearShrine special item😍 Beautiful Happy New Year January 1, 2023 This year is the first New Year since moving to Okinawa and the first New Year we have spent in Japan. I wish you all a Happy New Year 🎆🎊 What will you do on January 1st during the Japanese New Year? Last time I asked a friend in Japan, he said that during the New Year they have the custom of #三社参(三社参り), which means to visit three shrines during the New Year, and during the New Year the shrines are erected outside There are many different stalls, like a small market, with many eating and playing games ⛩😆 very lively. The opening hours of certain parts of the shrine during the New Year period have also been extended. There are not many shrines in Okinawa, and they are smaller than the main island, but there are a few worth visiting. The most famous one is #Bosami Palace in Okinawa, but I heard there are so many people😂😂, so today we went to the shrine⛩️ near our home #Futenma Shrine We are coming to this shrine for the first time, if you drive you need to park in the parking lot near the shrine and get off and walk over for about 5 minutes or so, regular vehicle charge ¥200 days From a distance already smell the smell of food from the stall outside the shrine, very fragrant 😋, opposite the shrine has been filled with a long queue of people 😳😳 Prepare to go inside to worship, together to come only to line up, fortunately It didn't take long in line, 20 minutes or so to get in there. Maybe the Divine Stone wasn’t too big so we didn’t dwell too long. Entering the door first, of course, clean your hands, the door has a very advanced automatic hand washing water flow, and traditional bamboo pocket hand washing location. Then walk up to prepare for five yen worship 🙏🏻, the process does not take 5 minutes😂 Of course, walking in not worship so simple, the main purpose is next to the guardian charm, drawing horse purchase. 🎏 During the New Year, there are more New Year special demon removal and charm decorations to purchase. Each one is beautiful 😍😍 It feels like buying a windmill during the Lunar New Year. There is also a car guard stall stall outside the shrine, with more styles than usual 😆😆 Then we walked around the food stalls outside, there were food and there were game stalls all over the street. After buying food, you can sit at the temporary dining table behind the stall to eat🤤🤤 Great. During the New Year, the shrine is open until 23:00 at night. If you are so suitable to visit during the New Year and have nothing to do at night, it is worth a visit😆 Remember to follow and like our post to stay up to date with the latest #Okinawa Parent-Child Travel Information Itinerary Welcome to join the group to share the good places for parents and children in Okinawa 👍🏻 The whole world is full of palaces 〒901-2202 Futenma 1-chome 27−10, Ginowan, Okinawa Prefecture

Seikyu Tower A memorial monument for 386 Koreans who died in the Battle of Okinawa. It was erected in 1971 (Showa 46) by the Japan Comrades Association on Kakazu Heights in Ginowan City. The inscription on the monument reads, "To commemorate and honor these spirits who transcend ethnicity, adhere to humanitarianism, and hide a sad history." It was a place that made me think a lot. ✈︎ーーーーーーーーーーーーーー✈︎ We are a couple living in Kansai who love to travel👫💕 We are looking for spots to introduce on Tabitoko! Tag us with #Tabitoko!
