Where is Ryukyu-no-Kaze Island Market?
Ryukyu-no-Kaze Island Market is a complex located next to the Shigira Seven Miles Resort, which stretches about 7 kilometers to the south of the main island of Miyakojima.
Inside this complex, you can enjoy not only souvenirs, but also meals, barbecues, and even live island songs. In extreme cases, it is a wonder why there is no such place on the main island of Okinawa.
Point 1: Ryukyu Remote Islands Market for souvenir shopping
For shopping for souvenirs and other items, we recommend the Ryukyu Remote Islands Market, which boasts the largest selection of goods on the island.
Here you can find not only Okinawan souvenirs, but also souvenirs from Miyako Island, Yaeyama Island, and even Amami Oshima Island.
Even if you come to Okinawa but don’t have time to visit the islands, this is the place to go!
We recommend the “Miyakojima Mango Tart,” which is the No. 1 selling item, and firefly glass accessories with a light blue color like the sea of Miyakojima.
We also recommend these for those who don’t want to keep buying Okinawan souvenirs in the form of traditional Okinawan sweets and tchotchke!
Point 2: Enjoy Okinawan cuisine casually in a semi-open-air setting!
When you come to a tropical island, you are attracted to semi-open-air restaurants where you can enjoy the local cuisine while the wind blows in the breeze.
In Okinawa, this is not so easy to achieve in Naha City, but it is possible here on Miyakojima Island.
Okinawa-style yakisoba noodles with sauce, Raftae, and Umi Budou (sea grapes) are always popular, but there is also a diverse lineup of other Okinawan dishes.
It is a matter, of course, to eat Okinawan cuisine when you come to Okinawa, but it is rare to find a semi-open-air restaurant.
Point 3: You can also enjoy live Okinawan entertainment!
At Ryukyu-no-Kaze Island Market, you can enjoy Okinawan eisa and sanshin (Okinawan guitar) live performances by local artists every night from 7:00 p.m. for free.
If you have a hankering for some Okinawan music, this is the place to go.
The eisa performances are performed by the resort staff, and many of them are quite skilled performers.
