Japan, Okinawa, Naha

[Wayfairers]

Anyone spent a day wandering around Naha?  We are booking a tour out of town for one day on our overnight stop and thinking of doing something in town on our own the other day.  Any suggestions or tips?

Would love to hear on this topic too! So far I am considering visiting Naminoue Shrine/Beach and Fukushuen Park, both walkable within 15 minutes of the cruise port. Another 15 minutes away from Fukushuen Park is Shikinaen Park and Kokusai Dori Market/Street.

We've been to Naha three times. The first time we chartered a private bus on our family reunion cruise because my 90 year FIL was with us. We went to Naminoue Shrine/Beach and Fukushuen Park on the 2nd and 3rd visits. Here is a video of our visit in March 2023 and this was from 2019.

I'm pretty late to this thread, but I was stationed at NAHA Air Base for a few months in 1971.  I remember one of our favorite meals was getting a plate of taco's at a restaurant called George's.

 

To my surprise, after doing a Google search, the restaurant is still there, but in a new building.  Our ship stops there in October so we'll hop in a cab and head to George's.  Hopefully the area around it will still have some shops and clubs.
