(Costco)
The wait is over. Costco opened Aug. 24 in Okinawa’s Nanjo City.
The membership-based warehouse retailer from the U.S. is only about a 45-minute drive from Camp Foster. This is the 35th store to open in Japan and the first on Okinawa.
Shoppers can expect a variety of Japanese grocery items like bulk miso soup, cases of green tea and more, as well as a selection of American products the warehouse is known for.
The snack bar, another Costco fan-favorite, known for inexpensive pizza slices, hot dog combos and more, will also be open for hungry shoppers.
The location in Nanjo City is surrounded by lush green and relatively close to the southern coast of the island, so a shopping trip will allow you to see the beautiful city and purchase in bulk.
Overseas members are allowed to use their current membership at all locations in Japan. You can get more information at the customer service counter at the store.
As this is the first Costco in Okinawa, plan ahead for crowds and get ready for a taste of home.
