Best cafes in Okinawa: Yachimun Kissa Shisa-en (Yachimun café)

If you’ve ever been intrigued by the rustic style of Totto-chan coffee shop in Dalat, Yachimun Kissa Shisa-en is a must-see when visiting Okinawa. What could be better than enjoying a glass of fruit juice or a cup of tea while listening to birdsong and the rustling leaves of the forest trees?

Like many other cafes with different tastes, Yachimun’s operating hours are very “artist”, the shop is open from 11 am to 7 pm and is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays so please pay attention. One more thing is that the restaurant only accepts payment in Yen and the menu has only has a few dishes in English only.

Best cafes in Okinawa: Yagiya

Each of us has probably seen the summer in the Japanese countryside through movies or anime. As for the “personality” style travelers, Yagiya will be a special place, taking you to a peaceful countryside experience on a trip to Okinawa.

The road to Yagiya is 30 to 40 minutes from Naha Airport and is surrounded by sugarcane and vegetable fields, which is different from the one seen on tourist sites in Okinawa. You will feel as if you have stepped back in time to your homeland, where all sorrow is defeated by the cafe’s grandparents’ food.

Houses over 100 years old that have been converted into cafes are always crowded, especially in Okinawa, and Yagiya is no exception. This place is always bustling with diners, most of whom come for the special traditional cuisine and the space of “grandparents” and so on.
