Okinawa, Urasoe. How about visiting Minatogawa Stateside Town (Minatogawa Foreigners' Residential Area) when sightseeing in Urasoe?

Minatogawa Stateside Town (Minatogawa Foreigners' Residential Area) is a town that was established in the 1960s (some say the 1950s). This area was built during the postwar US military occupation as a private rental property for US military personnel and their families who needed more space on the base. There is a sign with a map of the area near the entrance to the town, and each street is named after a US state. There are currently about 60 buildings. There are also regular residential areas, so please be careful about taking photos and making noise. The town is filled with a wide variety of shops, including cafes, restaurants, miscellaneous goods, and apparel. It's a recommended tourist spot in Urasoe! There are bus routes, but if you don't have a car, we recommend using a shared bicycle. 220m from Minatogawa bus stop Minatogawa Stateside Town (Minatogawa Foreigner Residential Area) 2-18-3 Minatogawa, Urasoe City, Okinawa Prefecture, 901-2134 #Okinawa #Urasoe #cafe #Urasoecafe #Okinawacafe #Okinawatrip #Okinawatourism

Naminoue Shrine

Today, I'm introducing Okinawa, a Japanese holiday paradise just an hour and a half flight away! Beautiful Okinawa offers unique experiences and scenery from south to north. The Naminoue-gu Shrine by the sea in the south is particularly special. You can also visit Senaga Island, known as Little Greece, to see the blue and white buildings and try some Happy Pancakes. Then, head to Kokusai-dori in the city center, where you can spend half a day browsing. Parco City in Soura City is also a great department store. Then, head to the central region for stunning ocean views. I recommend ziplining or other water activities over the sea, or snorkeling in the Blue Caves, where the water is exceptionally clear. Further north, see the stunning fish at Churaumi Aquarium, then stroll around Kouri Island and enjoy the delicious shrimp rice. If you have time, stay overnight at a hotel with a pool in the north—you'll feel so relaxed! #OkinawaAttractions
