[2025 Naha Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for Sakaemachi Arcade (Updated Jul)

As soon as you get off at Asato Station on the Okinawa Yui Rail, you'll find a shopping street nearby. Sakaemachi Market is a shopping street with a sense of history. Many of the shops were closed at the time, but there are also shops that pique the interest of tourists, such as the Okinawa specialty shop Charusoba. When I looked into the grocery store, I found a stick-shaped "Sata Andagi" for 150 yen. The man at the store told me, "It's handmade by an auntie at a shop right there!" ☺️ Okinawa handmade sata andagi. Enjoying local food at a low price. One of the joys of traveling is being able to try local food that isn't for tourists 😊 After all, shopping streets have a sense of community. There were many other restaurants and stores selling alcohol around. If you're traveling and passing by, why not add this to your list of shopping streets to stop by? #Gourmet trip #Okinawa #shopping street #shopping street tour #Sata Andagi #Asato #Sakaemachi Market #Okinawa soba

Okinawa soba is something you should try when you come to Okinawa. Where to eat it is also a fun part of the trip. Should I look for a popular restaurant? Or should I try it at a restaurant I find during my trip? Everyone has their own way of tasting it. I'm the type of person who just goes into a restaurant I find without thinking about anything.😌 This time I found "Charu Soba". It's a specialty Okinawa soba restaurant, but You can enjoy not only Okinawa soba, but also alcohol, snacks, and sweets. This time I ordered "Sanmai Meat Soba" and "Shari Shari Zenzai". Sanmai Meat Soba (medium) 650 yen Zenzai is 250 yen I was able to enjoy the taste of Okinawa at a good price☺️ #gourmet trip #okinawa #okinawatrip #okinawa #okinawatrip #okinawasoba #zenzai #japan #asato #sakaemachi market

Okinawans love alcohol! Many people have this image. Here is a recommended course for those locals to go on a little deeper drinking tour. At Sakaemachi Market in the Asato area of ​​Naha City, there are many old-fashioned izakayas and snack bars, and it is a place you should definitely visit even if you are a tourist! 📍Okazu no Mise Benri-ya Gyokureiron Address: 388-1 Asato, Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture Price: From 1,500 yen This shop is always full of people. You can tell how popular it is from the tables and counter seats that extend into the market arcade. The thing you should definitely try here is the gyoza. They are cute with their round shape, aren't they? 💖 They also have boiled gyoza, steamed gyoza, and xiaolongbao. They are bite-sized, so even if you order a lot, you can eat them all in one go. It's also a good deal, costing less than 800 yen✨ The alcohol is delicious, but the recommended soft drink is the "Freshly Squeezed Sugarcane Bijus." They make it one cup at a time using a squeezer at the front of the store. The fresh, gentle sweetness and slightly green smell are addictive🤤 They start making it after you order, so it's recommended to order early! 📍Hiikiya Address: 379 Asato, Naha City, Okinawa Price: From 1,500 yen This is the shop that stands out with its large "shellfish" character. This is a restaurant where you can enjoy a variety of shellfish dishes, from familiar ones to ones you've never heard of before. The 5 kinds of shellfish ajillo is especially recommended! This luxurious dish contains 5 kinds of large shellfish, the contents of which change depending on the season✨ The shellfish are of course excellent, and go perfectly with olive oil. If you dip the baguette in it, you can eat as much as you want✨ Even if you go with a group, it's so delicious that you'll want to eat a plate per person. 📍Kinpachi Sakaemachi Address: 380 Asato, Naha City Price: From 1,500 yen This restaurant is recommended for the end of a bar crawl. Although it is a food stall, there are counter seats as well as table seats, so you can enjoy your meal at your own pace✨ The recommended dish here is the motsunabe🍲 At Kinpachi, you can order motsunabe for one person! It's great that you can order hot pot dishes for one person. I'm already full, but I want to eat something to finish off the night! Recommended for times like that☺️ The taste is authentic, and you can eat it piping hot on a tabletop stove. The staff are friendly, so you can feel free to go alone! The three places introduced this time are deep drinking establishments that are visited by many locals. The market is a slightly dimly lit arcade street, so you can enjoy a nostalgic feeling while drinking. Find your favorite shop at Sakaemachi Market 🧚 #AbsolutelyFreeTrip

Hello! I travel to Naha twice a year just to go drinking, so I'd like to introduce some of my favorite super cheap izakayas! Naha is actually a city with a lot of cheap and delicious izakayas, as well as izakayas that are popular for their "senbero" drinks, but this time I'll introduce some places that aren't senbero! ① Nakama Shoten [Sakaemachi Market] First up is Nakama Shoten! Personally, this is a place I always want to visit when I come to Naha! All food items are 350 yen each, yet the quantity and quality are amazing. When I first visited, I wondered if they were counting the portions wrong! There are many types of alcohol on the menu, with prices starting from 300 yen, and mega, giga, and tera sizes starting from 400 yen, so each size is a great deal. However, it's a popular place, and the place isn't that big, so it fills up easily, so I recommend going early! 16:00-0:00 Closed on Sundays ②Uokyu Main Store [Around the Public Market] This restaurant has great seafood! You can enjoy fresh sashimi and grilled fish at reasonable prices! The grilled fish is especially delicious because they grill it over charcoal after you order it in front of the restaurant! Alcohol prices start from 350 yen, and you can also enjoy awamori, and there are many varieties, so I'm very satisfied! I also recommend the mozuku tempura, which is 150 yen per piece and is large and very delicious! They open from noon, so they close a little early, so if you're going at night, make sure you go a little earlier! 15:00-22:00 Closed on Thursdays ③Maisukuya [Around the Public Market] This restaurant has a wide variety of Okinawan dishes, and the Okinawan oden is the best! The oden is mildly seasoned but has a strong dashi flavor, making it perfect for alcohol. The Okinawan cuisine is also very delicious, and any champuru dish is a great choice! There is a wide variety of drinks, including Orion beer, which can be enjoyed from 400 yen. This restaurant is very popular and often fully booked, so we recommend coming at the end of your bar hopping trip! 16:00-0:00 Closed on Tuesdays What did you think? I go to Naha many times a year to drink, and I've introduced the restaurants I always go to! Okinawa has a warm climate all year round, so it's the best time to have a drink outside and relax! I hope you'll find this useful! #0yentrip2025February #Naha #KokusaiStreet #SakaemachiMarket #Barhopping #Izakaya #Okinawacuisine #Okinawa #Okinawatrip

When you go to a place like this where many locals gather, you can experience the warmth and kindness of the people, and you'll really feel glad that you came on this trip! #SakaemachiMarket #OkinawaGourmet #NahaGourmet #0YenTravelAutumn

A restaurant in an alley in Sakaemachi Market. I went to another restaurant to have dinner, but it was closed, so I looked around and found "Shokudo Cafe Tomo"☝️ The atmosphere is far from the image of the restaurant's name, but it turned out to be a big hit🎯 The restaurant has several tables and a few counter seats. It seems like it can be used by anyone, whether alone, in a group, or in any style, and the staff are friendly, so you can use it without hesitation◎ And when I looked at the menu, I was surprised🫢 Most of the dishes were only 350 yen!! ! They had everything from snacks to Okinawan dishes. Even with the rising prices, I was surprised at the prices, and I'm very grateful and happy😊 And what's more, all this for 350 yen! ? I thought it was a good deal, and the portions were filling and the taste was not bad👍 Goya chanpuru, island shalakkyo tempura, niganai Shiraae, Hirayachi, and other dishes for less than 3,000 yen for two people, so I found a good restaurant✨ Some menus come with rice, miso soup, small side dishes, etc. You can change them to set meals for just 600 yen👀 It's easy on the wallet and you can have a quick dinner😉 Visited: May 2023 [Address] 387 Asato, Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture #OkinawaTourism #Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #Naha #NahaCity #NahaTourism #Asato #OkinawaGourmet #NahaGourmet #SakaemachiMarket #TravelDiary #BarStreet #DiningRoad #Izakaya #DiningCafeTomo #KamadoNoMise

Just east of Asato Station on the Yui Rail. Even though it's close to the station, Sakaemachi has a very deep and atmospheric atmosphere. The market has evolved every year, and many tourists have started to visit it👍 There are many shops in the narrow, maze-like alleys🏮 There are many restaurants, and it gets busier as night approaches, but there are also coffee shops that are open during the day~☕️ It's a diverse neighborhood that reminds me of Southeast Asia, and it's a good idea to spend the night enjoying drinks and Okinawan cuisine✨ Where should we drink? Where should we eat? It should be fun to wander around while thinking about what to do 😉 There is a 24-hour supermarket right in front of Asato Station, which is also very useful ☝️ Visited: May 2023 [Address] 381-379 Asato, Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture #OkinawaTourism #Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #Naha #NahaCity #NahaTourism #Asato #OkinawaGourmet #NahaGourmet #SakaemachiMarket #TravelDiary #EatingOut #Senbero #BarDistrict
