American Village เมืองแห่งความสนุกบนเกาะโอกินาวะ
At the end of October 2024, I had the opportunity to travel to Okinawa, Japan as a Solo Trip. This time, I booked Air Asia flights through Trip.com. Everything went smoothly.
From Naha Airport to American Village, which is located in Chatan City, you can take a direct bus. It takes about 1 hour, which is very convenient.
At American Village, there are many shops and restaurants. It is near Aeon Chatan, Sunset Beach, Depot Central, which is a very famous tourist spot. It is near the American military base. Various tour companies bring tourists to shop and take pictures. If anyone has time, I recommend going for a walk to find delicious food, watch the lights and sounds at night, and see fireworks every Saturday.

American Village + Ryukyu Beef
You must make a reservation online in advance for Ryukyu Beef because there are very few seats and they don't usually offer walk-in seating! (💰 Average cost per person: less than 2000 TWD for a meal) The service is excellent, and you can order using a tablet, so there's no worry about not understanding the menu. There is a minimum charge.
You can view the menu when making a reservation, pre-order, or order on-site without any issues! If you're bringing children, please be mindful of the noise level.
After eating, take a stroll around American Village. Since it was a bit late, many stores were closed, but the Halloween decorations were still interesting, and the lights were on, making it great for photos!
There are also plenty of parking spaces here, so no need to worry about finding a spot!

Sunset Serenade: Okinawa American Village's Coastal Charm
#japantrip
I stumbled upon a tropical haven at Okinawa American Village! This beachside hub in Chatan Town, Okinawa, seamlessly blends American flair with Japanese hospitality. As I strolled along the sunset-kissed waterfront, I discovered eclectic shops, restaurants, and bars. The village's relaxed vibe, coupled with its stunning coastal views, made for a perfect evening. I savored delicious eats, from traditional Okinawan cuisine to classic American burgers. Whether seeking a romantic getaway or a fun-filled evening, Okinawa American Village is a must-visit destination. Its warm atmosphere and breathtaking sunsets have forever captured my heart.

EggSushiLovers, Run Here! 🥚
Whenever you come to Japan, you must visit a sushi restaurant, and this time, I chose Suido Gourmet Sushi for my trip to Okinawa.
A great point is that you can eat 2 pieces of fluffy Japanese egg sushi for 1,500 won.🫶🏻🍣
I'll also introduce the location.

[Okinawa Chatan Mihama American Village] Stroll along the beach and enjoy afternoon tea🥞
#日本韩urbanattractions
Since there is no self-driving tour in Okinawa, we took a bus from Asahibashi Station to American Village.
In fact, there are many buses that can reach American Village (it takes about an hour from Naha City)
After arriving, we wandered around for a while and then went to Kona’s coffee restaurant for afternoon tea.
The traditional banyu paired with thick cream is quite satisfying for those who like to eat cream😆. The drinks and banyu are also good, and the environment is very comfortable!
After resting enough, I walked to the seaside of Chatan Park for a walk.
If you come from July to October, you still have a chance to see the "Water Fireworks Show" of the Chatan Harbor Carnival here🎇🎇

American Village and its great eats!
I lived at Okinawa, Japan for three years. An oldie but a goodie, American Village (in Japanese “Mihama”), is a great place to walk around and find places to eat. You’ll never get tired of seeing the sights because it’s different every season. I think AV is the best during the holidays as they put lights everywhere.
Aside from the wide range of eateries, there’s a beautiful view of the sea alongside the edge of AV. Where I’m standing in the second picture is close to a nearby beach called Araha Beach.
Here are some of my favorite restaurants (in order of pictures):
Cafe 808
オークファッションビル, 1F, 9-39 Mihama, Chatan, Nakagami District, Okinawa 904-0115, Japan
Seaside Pancake Factory Kupu Kupu

[Okinawa] Burrito Gang: Enjoy authentic American burritos
"American Village" in Chatan Town, Okinawa, is a recommended tourist spot.
The pop-style townscape makes you feel like you're overseas!
There are plenty of restaurants, so you won't get bored even if you spend the whole day there.
The most recommended place is "Burrito Gang," where you can enjoy American burritos.
A rich lineup of beef, pork, chicken, bulgogi, and shrimp. This time I tried the chicken!
The rich chicken is addictive ~ 🤤
This burrito has rice in it! 😳
Even the small size is quite filling, so be sure to check your stomach before ordering!

The Mihama American Village is a large entertainment complex located in central Okinawa Honto. Many American military bases are located in the area, and the entertainment complex's theme of Americana provides a nostalgic pleasure for residents of the bases as well as an interesting diversion for the locals. The Mihama American Village resembles a big American outdoor shopping mall with lots of shops, restaurants, cafes and a large parking lot.

The American village area is actually very small, divided into four areas: A, B, C, and D. They are the CARNIVAL PARK area in the A area (the big country drug makeup, Seria hundred yuan shop); the American Depot in the B area (in the US / European second-hand clothing and living groceries are mainly); Depot Island in Area C (there are many coastal street cafes, brunch shops, grocery stores); D District Sunset Beach and surrounding net red food. The
50-meter-diameter Ferris wheel is a symbol of the North Valley. At the highest point, you can see the street view of the North Valley and the East China Sea. The Ferris wheel at night turns into a large neon under the illumination of the lanterns. It is also very popular as a night view. The Ferris wheel is on the top floor of the CARNIVAL PARK. There is a big drugstore on the first floor of the mall. The goods are very rich. It is worth visiting. The price is almost the lowest among the drugstores we visited in the past few days. The clerk will basically speak the basic Chinese, remember to bring a passport when shopping, and immediately exempt from tax at checkout. On the first floor, there are clothing stores like Baiyuan and Outlet J. On the second floor, there are restaurants. Although the American village is far away from Naha, it feels very convenient. From the Ferris wheel all the way to the beach in the north, you will find that the neighborhood has a strong American casual style, and there are some cute and funny elements to attract children's attention. It seems to be in stark contrast to the bleakness of Naha. It feels completely in another country, it is amazing!
The American village is large and divided into many areas, American Depot is one of them. The building here breaks through the lines and colors inherent in Japanese-style houses, and the shape of the brain is wide open, and the color is also a pink fairy tale. Even the food here has been transformed from sushi ramen into a hamburger steak, and STEAK HOUSE 88 is one of them. In other words, the color of American Depot is too young, it is a portrait resort! The most impressive part of the
Depot Island area is the variety of childlike 3D wall paintings and graffiti murals. Its a feeling of not passing through without a shadow. Even my mom cant stop. . The work of the famous wing painting artist Colette Miller is the angel wing of the American Village Network Red, also on the second floor of this area. There are many cafes in the
American village street. The Seaside Cafe Hanon, located on the second floor of the depot island, is a net red. However, the passenger flow is not as much as expected, the product is unambiguous, and even a little amazing, the price is simply approachable than the Shanghai red store, changing the prejudice against the traditional net red shop!
Transportation: Naha travels to taxi 3000 - 3500 yen, 35 minutes / bus 120 road military hospital station or Sangjiang station, adult 700 yen or so, 50 minutes drive, other places in the past recommended chartered or taxi
other Friends with plenty of time can go to the nearby Childrens Kingdom and the largest shopping mall in Okinawa, AEON MALL

No Goodbyes to the Sun | Okinawa Travel Guide Part 1 (Food and Attractions)
Although the weather is getting cooler, Okinawa still has warm sunshine and a charming ocean. If you love the southern style, water activities, food, and leisure vacations, this treasure destination for family and couple trips is definitely not to be missed! Next, I will recommend some must-visit attractions in Okinawa. Take notes! ^_^
[Makishi Public Market]
Makishi Public Market, located in the center of Naha City, is one of the largest markets in Okinawa. It has everything you need, from seafood, meat, and fruits to vegetables, making it a feast for the eyes. The market is bustling with activity. We tasted delicious ice cream and Okinawan-style meat snacks here, which were rich in flavor and simply intoxicating! There are also many fresh ingredients in the market. If you can cook where you live, it would be great to buy some and show off your cooking skills in the evening! Enjoy the fun of making your own food!
[American Village]
American Village is a large entertainment and shopping center full of American style, located in Chatan Town, Okinawa Prefecture. Here, you can find restaurants, shops, and amusement facilities, and the strong exotic atmosphere makes you feel like you are on the streets of America. Here, we tasted juicy American burgers 🍔, sitting on the outdoor seats by the sea, enjoying the sea breeze, and feeling like we were in Hawaii 🌺. The burgers were extremely rich in taste, and the meat juice was delicious, making it unforgettable. In addition to food, there are many photo spots here, just like the streets of Europe and America, which will definitely make your photos stand out in your social media and receive countless compliments!
[Ryukyu Mura]
Ryukyu Mura is a theme park showcasing Ryukyu culture, located in Onna Village, Okinawa Prefecture. It has traditional architecture, handicraft demonstrations, and wonderful Ryukyu dance performances. Walking in Ryukyu Mura is like traveling back to the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom, and the strong historical atmosphere is fascinating. There are not only rich cultural experiences but also costume and handicraft experiences. Here, Junjun chose a bright red costume and wore it to wander around the "Ryukyu Kingdom" to experience the charm of traditional culture. In addition, we also visited the beautiful butterfly garden, where there are many rare butterflies 🦋, some of which are hatching, making it especially suitable for students and family study tours, as it allows you to appreciate the beauty of nature and broaden your horizons.
To be continued, stay tuned!

Colorful day at American Village ✨
Just a short 40-minute drive from downtown Naha, American Village is an easy and fun day trip.
We took the scenic route along the coast, soaking in the views before arriving at this lively seaside spot.
The first stop was a cozy café for a fresh brew, perfect for a mid-morning break. Afterward, we wandered through the colorful shops and stalls, picking up a few souvenirs along the way.
The relaxed atmosphere and ocean views made the whole experience even better. It was the perfect mix of exploration and relaxation, all just a quick drive from the city.#100วิธีเที่ยว ##เที่ยวญี่ปุ่นด้วยตัวเอง ##โอกินาว่า ##americanvillageokinawa ##coffee

Recommended restaurants in Okinawa, Japan's American Village
Pork Tamago Onigiri
📍Japan 9-21 Mihama, Chatan, Nakagami District, Okinawa 904-0115 Japan
◽ 07:00 - 19:00
📋 Potama (Spam + Egg) 390 yen / Shrimp TarTar (Spam + Egg + Fried Shrimp) 650 yen
Pork Tamago Onigiri has three branches: Naha Airport, Kokusai Dori, and Ameville. We visited the closest Ameville branch while staying at Vessel Hotel Campana Okinawa.😊
There were no separate seats inside Pork Tamago Onigiri, probably because there were many takeout customers.
If you wanted to eat in the store, you could use the terrace seats in front.❗
The Pork Tamago menu has a variety of rice balls, from standard to special.
I personally
recommend the shrimp tartar sauce because it was really delicious. I want it 😋
(Of course, the basic potama is also really delicious)
Even if it's not an Ameville branch,
You can taste it at Kokusai Dori or Naha Airport,
So I hope you try it at least once as a substitute for breakfast or a snack during your trip to Okinawa☘️

American Village🌺🌴
Palm trees, blue sea and wide sky. Stylish shops line the streets, creating a truly American townscape.
There are stylish cafes and clothing stores.
It's too hot in midsummer...
But if you take measures to beat the heat and enjoy the townscape while visiting cafes, you'll feel like you're in Hawaii 🌺
