What other travelers are saying about Kokusai Street (International Street)
This is a really cool little shopping street. Not quite like an arcade but similar idea. We don’t really have these in North America but we definitely should. Lots of cool shops here great vendors and good snacks. Prices are pretty good. I definitely recommend checking it out.
A fun shopping street with a grungy, old-fashioned feel and very much keyed to tourism. There ate some interesting little eateries and bars, and many spuvenir shops (all selling the same tee-shirts and biscuits).
I would add Kokusa Dori as a must-see trip while in Okinawa. It is geared towards the tourists but it is an experience that you will appreciate no matter who you are. From the many different food choices to the boutique stores... there is something for everyone. Mark this off your to-do list and then head outside of Naha for some more traditional Okinawan experiences!
A nice market to come check out and see while in Okinawa. Lots of shops, food stalls, restaurants and more. A bit touristy. Not too busy as of February 2025.
A shopping mainly catering to tourists. Not a bad place to shop at, as prices are generally not too expensive from various souvenir shops, selling japanese snacks, clothes and keychains/ magnets. Make sure to check if tax-free claims are available for each shop.
Highly recommended to walk around here as driving around here might take a long time due to constant slow-moving and heavy traffic. It is only a short walk away from the Prefectural Office monorail station.
