I can’t remember since when Christmas illuminations have become so popular on Okinawa or Japan’s mainland.

Cafe Gallery Doka Doka is an Okinawan Yachimun (pottery) gallery and cafe restaurant in Onna. There are quite a few seaside cafes in Okinawa, but Doka Doka is unique in its combination of handmade pottery, tasty food and a magnificent view of the Onna coast.

In Japan, Tsuribori refers to ponds where you can enjoy fishing without even going to sea.

Nago Grocery Store is a beautiful souvenir store located in downtown Nago. Nago is the largest Northern city on the main island of Okinawa and the city has a slower pace than Naha.

Nago Castle Park is a hot spot for cherry blossom-viewing in the winter as thousands of visitors come to enjoy the pink blush flowers. Nago-dake, a mountain just at the back of the park, does not receive the same glory.

Okinawa shoppers can show off their furry friends in their festive best for a chance at $3,000 in prizes in the Holiday Pet Photo Contest.

Okinawa shoppers can enjoy double points at the Express every Friday all month long when using their MILITARY STAR® card.

Anyone can show their gratitude this holiday season by sending an Army & Air Force Exchange Service gift card to service members around the world.

In Okinawa, King Tacos is almost like a synonym for taco rice.

King Tacos is a legendary Japanese Mexican restaurant located in Kin Town on the main island of Okinawa. It is best known as the birthplace of taco rice. Taco rice is a fusion of Mexican and Japanese food created by Matsuzo Gibo, who came up with the original dish in 1984 at his restaurant Parlor Senri also in Kin Town.
