    Okinawa Pref. Kunigamigunonnason Nakadomari 885
    Seaside Drive-in in Onna Village, Okinawa Prefecture is an American-style restaurant. It is open 24 hours, and everything on the menu which is a fusion of Japanese and Western is available for take-out. Despite the American-style facade, it is a fun place which has a range of antique toys and an aquarium where you can see tropical fish. It faces the sea so you can gaze at the beautiful sunset in the evening.

    Loved the charm of the place. Our Okinawan friend took us here on our way to our hotel and we thought it was a lot of fun and great value for money!

    Okinawa Kunigami-gun Kin Cho Kin 4244-4

    タコライス発祥の店とのこと、もちろんタコライスを選択。入ってすぐの券売機で購入、店員さんに券を渡すスタイル。濃い味のタコスが美味しく、ご飯が進みますが、少食の方には厳しいご飯の量です。因みにこの日は、コロナ禍で持ち帰りのみでした。

    Hawaiian Pancakes House Paanilani located along National Highway No.58 in Onna Village is a popular pancake shop which has been chosen as one of Okinawa’s best cafes. The springy and fluffy pancakes using plenty of buttermilk, with a rich buttery flavor are irresistible. The Nuts Nuts pancakes covered with plenty of the unique white nut sauce (limited quantity) and a steak and bacon pancake with a large piece of succulent bacon are popular.

    Lovely place for desserts and pancakes! But the wait can be long for a seat and almost 20 mins for pancakes as they make to order.

    My first experience in Chinuman was ok, food quality is average, and service wasn’t special. Price against quality wasn’t good enough.

    This store is where you can eat omelets with fluffy eggs on taco rice, which originated in Okinawa in 1984. Taco rice, also known as an Okinawan soul food, is wrapped in fluffy and runny eggs, and you can select either sweet or spicy meat.

    After spending time at the beach, taco rice always sounds refreshing. I found this restaurant as it was on the way back home. There is a large parking area nearby. When you get here, you order, pay...

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
