Okinawa｜hoppepan In Okinawa's daily life, there are always small surprises that make people stop and take a look. In a corner of Urasoe City, there is a warm and healing bakery called "Hoppe Pan". The name of the shop comes from "ほっぺ" (cheek), which seems to imply that the bread here is so delicious that it makes your cheeks puff up unconsciously. As soon as you walk into the store, the aroma of bread makes you relax instantly. The atmosphere in the store is warm and rustic, and the shelves are filled with a variety of handmade breads, each of which is full of simple care and deliciousness. I particularly like their croissant series, which has distinct layers and a crispy texture. It is the crispiest croissant I have ever eaten! Take a bite, the creamy aroma fills the air, and the crispy texture makes you unable to stop. Moreover, the store is very considerate and provides heating service, so that you can enjoy the delicious taste of freshly baked food at any time. What’s even more outrageous is that this store is only open four days a week! To eat this delicacy, you really have to calculate the time accurately so that you can taste this limited happiness. It is worth mentioning that there is a private parking lot at the door, allowing you to park easily and enjoy this wonderful bread time without worries. ₊ ˚‧ ♡̷̷̷ ₊ ˚‧ ♡̷̷̷ ₊ ˚‧ ♡̷̷̷ ₊ ˚‧ ♡̷̷̷ ₊ ˚‧ ♡̷̷̷ ₊ ˚‧ ♡̷̷̷ ₊ @hoppe_pan Address: 2-10 Uchima, Urasoe City, Okinawa Prefecture Business hours: 10:00 - 19:00, every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday #Okinawa Travel #Okinawa Attractions #Okinawa Food #Okinawa Free Travel #Nanjo City #Hyakuname Beach #Okinawa Check-in #Must-visit Okinawa #Japan Travel #Japan Free Travel #Okinawa Secret Place #Curaçao Stargazing #Travel Recommendation #Store Sharing #Japanese Ceramics #Seaside Shop #Life Aesthetics #Okinawa Shopping #Kacey Food Travel Notebook

When you go to Japan, you have to try on traditional clothing 😆 I went to a place called Chura Sakura in Okinawa. There were so many different yukata designs and sizes, so I was able to choose without worry, which was great 💕 They even styled my hair to match the yukata and even lent me shoes 🥰 No matter what time you rent, you have to return it at 6 PM, but I rented it around 11 AM and returned it at 5 PM. The staff were so kind that it was a good memory! I hope you all visit ➿ 🌸 💰 About 40,000 won per person 🏷️ Churazakura [ちゅら桜] 📍 〒900-0015 Okinawa Prefecture Naha City 1-6-1 ART Bldg. 2F #JapanTravel #HotPlace #Okinawa

#tripaway Okinawa is infamous for its peach. Why not trying momo plucking while travel? Momo is peaches in Japanese. I thought the momo tree would be as tall as mangosteen tree but it wasn’t. It’s only as small as rose apple (Jambu air) tree and the momo is easy to be plucked. Just choose the biggest one and pull it gently. At the farm, we can taste two momos each. Yummy!! The momos are cream and red in colours and their taste are sweeter than sweets. I had never tasted momo all my life. I was so happy that we could bring the momos we plucked home as they have to be kept for 2-3 days before the fully ripe and ready to be eaten. #tripaway

I want to feel the depth of a city must participate in the local festival is really great! with mommy and daughter wearing a yukata to participate in the integration into the locals festivals to feel the warm atmosphere, This is the one I saw most people fireworks are like meteors near From the sky sitting on the beach, we too good 50 minutes, have the opportunity to come to Japan must experience once.

Every time I take a baby's trip, I can't wait to put my home in the packing bag. Compared to staying at the hotel, Sana prefers to stay at the hotel! This is a set of seaside villas that are rented by the sea when you are traveling in Okinawa. It is really convenient. Baby products are all available. You can let the children play with the sand and play tired and go back to the room to take a shower/ Hh / interest, drilling into tatami or tents for children to flip night with a cute projector baby sleeping home location is also very convenient, because Okinawa is A long island, chooses in the middle, no matter where you go to the top aquarium or the lowest airport, it won't be too far away. There is also a nice name in the homestay: SEA YOU LATER There are many fun places nearby such as 10,000 dolls, residual wave A, Ryukyu Village, Zhenrong Tianyu.. ..... are very close to the airport from the high-speed to less than an hour, to the aquarium is not more than an hour, the entire highway is not traffic jam. Convenience store where you can walk, there is a big supermarket and many restaurants within 5 minutes by car. It can be said that the location is perfect.

[cp] It is by the sea, above the cliff, shaped like an elephant's nose, but it is a grassland that can accommodate thousands of people. This is the 10,000-seat wool of Okinawa, Japan. It is the location of the Hong Kong film "Love Okinawa" and has become the place where most Okinawa games must be played. This is not very big. I drove to the parking lot and walked for five minutes. The opposite is the tens of thousands of hairs that look like elephants and noses. Looking down, the sea is slap on the reef, and there is a piece of it. The waves of the film, there are many people coming here, from the entrance to the exit is a line, you can go out slowly along the crowd.

This world has such a store boss wife handmade candles h beauty do not want! personally help me to do Thai massage, massage is finished, there is a boss, a ceramic cup made by myself and a very beautiful hot tea on the plate, which has cured my tired travel with the baby and the bosss hand painting. !! Every time I see such a shop, I will tell the children that you dont need to be too powerful, do what you like, you can support yourself, and you can be very happy. If you open a small shop like this in the future, it is enough.

Okinawas "Everyone" has a history of more than 100 years. The ramen and puffs here are very famous. Local friend Xiao Dai told me that because this place needs to be driven by car, few mainlanders can come and queue up all day. This is also It doesn't matter, it is the location of love. The environment is so beautiful. may line up, business is too good

It is a good choice to go to Okinawa on New Year's Day, and there will not be many tourists. The Qingliang Islands on the island is a very good choice. From Okinawa Island to Ajia Island, we helped us pack a yacht through the homestay administrator. Vacations, privacy is very important. I usually like the charter in the economically allowed situation~ The dinner on the boat is really my catch, such as fake replacement! Sea fishing is not the only purpose of my trip to the sea. Diving is also a must-see. The last time I went to Okinawa, I went to see whale sharks. This time I went to see clownfish and corals. well? Its a great thing to have an OW diving license. Of course, if you have a diving guide on board, is there any relationship with a diving certificate? Anyway, he/she will take you to experience. Safety? There is also a safer place than Japan Oh, you ask me if the temperature is 16 degrees, will it be cold? 5mm diving suit silk is no pressure, I am still worried about heat stroke... Although heatstroke is a joke, it is definitely not cold. In Japan, most golf clubs are membership-based, so how do non-members experience golf? The B&B I live in is simply a omnipotent existence. The administrators strange request for me is actually accepted, and I cant accept it!

This is a private beach in Okinawa, Japan, about 15 minutes away from the Gu Yuli Bridge. There are clean beach lawns and sun loungers. When the sun is good, you can lie down here for an afternoon to see the tides.

#celebrateit If you’re a pancake lover, you can’t miss Paanilani in Onna, Okinawa! This super popular Hawaiian-style pancake house serves some of the fluffiest and most flavorful pancakes around. The cozy, tropical vibes make it a perfect spot for a relaxing breakfast or brunch. I ordered the "Japancake," which comes with sweet anko (red bean paste) on top, and the classic macadamia nut sauce pancakes. Both were amazing! The pancakes were light, fluffy, and buttery, while the toppings added the perfect amount of sweetness. The macadamia nut sauce was especially rich and creamy—I can see why it’s a fan favorite! Why I recommend this place: Unique and delicious pancake options – From Japanese-inspired flavors to classic Hawaiian-style toppings. Relaxing, tropical atmosphere – Feels like a little getaway in Okinawa! 📍 Address: 698 Serakaki, Onna, Kunigami District, Okinawa 904-0404, Japan #Okinawa #Japan #OnnaVillage #Pancakes #HawaiianCafe #Paanilani #Japancake #BrunchSpot

Okinawa

Okinawa - a place that surprised me. Was told it was a summer place for well known "Hawaii of the east" Fret not even if u decided to visit it in winter. It has a laid back atmosphere, polite culture and best of all lesser crowd compared to Tokyo and Kyoto A beautiful place worth visiting

How can you miss out on the pork and egg rice ball when you come to Okinawa? This seemingly simple snack hides a charm that makes you fall in love with it at first bite! Steaming hot rice sandwiched with a golden, tender fried egg, paired with salty and crispy luncheon meat. One bite and you're filled with happiness. The outer layer is wrapped in seaweed, adding a slight sea flavor that enhances the overall taste. This simple combination is surprisingly delicious, no wonder it's a super popular breakfast in Okinawa! Every shop has its own variation of the pork and egg rice ball. Some add shredded cabbage, cheese, pickled radish, and even special sauces, each with its own unique flavor. If you come to Okinawa, whether for breakfast or a late-night snack, you must try this local delicacy!

I went to a restaurant called "Morning Bowls Main store/poke bowl & acai bowl" in Chatan Town, Okinawa! 📍 1-456 Miyagi, Chatan Town, Nakagami District, Okinawa Prefecture I wanted to eat delicious acai in Okinawa, so I went because the reviews were good! It's an acai and poke restaurant, and when I entered the restaurant, I could smell fish. Since it was a holiday, I was able to eat after waiting for less than 30 minutes! There are many types of menu, and I washed my own smoothie flavor, fruit type (banana is already included), toppings, etc.! There are two sizes: regular (1490 yen) and large (2041 yen)! You can choose up to 2 fruits for the regular size and up to 4 fruits for the large size! I ordered Smoothie → Acai bowl Size → Regular Fruit → Blueberry/Strawberry Topping → Cacao Sauce → Honey I've tried many different acai, but the acai at this restaurant was so delicious that I was impressed! ! Please check it out! *There is no parking! #Seasonal places in Japan

I visited a shop called 'Oyatsuya.' in Uruma City, Okinawa! 📍 856 Takaesu, Uruma City, Okinawa This shop sells handmade cute cookies! The store is filled with unique animal-shaped cookies, and they were all so adorable that I bought a lot to take home! Besides cookies, they also have muffins, scones, and cakes, all of which looked delicious!! Since it's takeout only, the shop is small, but the interior is cute and it was a very lovely space!!

I went to a restaurant called "Yomitan Monogatari" in Yomitan Village, Okinawa! 📍2481-1 Namihira, Yomitan Village, Nakagami District, Okinawa Prefecture This is a restaurant where you can enjoy delicious Okinawan cuisine! The restaurant does not allow people over 20 years old to enter, and the interior was warm and stylish! I ordered a lot of things, such as sashimi made with Okinawan fish and somen noodles with sea grapes, and everything I ate was delicious!! The spring rolls and fried chicken were especially delicious, and I ordered them twice!! It was a very popular restaurant with foreign customers, so I recommend making a reservation! #Free hotel stay

#getgoing2025 I've been to both the old and new market. I really like what they did with Makishi Public Market. It's clean, organized, and has a lot of variety. The first floor is all market and the second floor is full of restaurants. You can even pick what you want on the first floor and have them cook it upstairs. They have a lot of fresh seafood here. I really feel bad for the coconut crabs they have in tiny containers. They are beautiful and unique animals that don't deserve it. There are a lot of Okinawan specific things here whether it be food or souvenirs.

#getgoing2025 I visited the Okinawa Blue store, a stylish shop specializing in local rice whisky. The sleek black-and-gold design gave it a premium feel, and the staff was welcoming and knowledgeable. I sampled their signature Okinawa Blue whisky, which had a smooth yet complex flavor with hints of tropical notes. They also offered beautifully packaged bottles, making it a great souvenir option. The store’s location in a bustling shopping arcade made it an easy and worthwhile stop. Whether you're a whisky enthusiast or just curious, this place is a must-visit for a taste of Okinawa.

A wonderful cafe in Yomitan Village, Okinawa Prefecture, Bar Full Cafe☕️ The interior is filled with paintings and objects, giving it the atmosphere of being inside an art museum🤍 The paintings on the ceiling were particularly lovely🕊️ The lunch menu pasta comes with a generous salad, but it's quite pricey at 1,800 yen💦 Drinks are an additional charge, making for a leisurely and elegant lunchtime🥤 〒904-0301 Okinawa Prefecture, Nakagami District, Yomitan Village, Zakimi 2713-94 11:00-18:00
