Makishi Public Market

The Naha Makishi Public Market, accessible from bustling Kokusai Street, is a lively hub where visitors can immerse themselves in the vibrant world of Okinawan cuisine. Women are the driving force behind this Machigwa, bringing energy and authenticity to the market’s atmosphere.

On the first floor, you’ll find a colorful array of tropical seafood, unique island vegetables, and an impressive selection of pork, all central to Okinawa’s culinary identity. It’s a feast for the senses and a chance to discover the flavors that define the region.

Head to the second floor, where restaurants serve freshly prepared dishes, often made with ingredients straight from the market below. The Makishi Public Market is more than a place to shop or eat—it’s a slice of Okinawa’s vibrant culture.
