About an hour and forty minutes by car from Naha Airport. On the small island of Sesoko, connected by a bridge, sits a popular island cafe, quietly nestled away. This cafe, where you can feel the Okinawan blue sea and sky and the gently flowing “island time,” is a healing spot loved not only by tourists but also by locals.
Point 1: Huh? Here? The location of ‘fuu cafe’
fuu cafe is located on Sesoko Island in Motobu Town, northern Okinawa Island. It’s about a 15-minute drive from the Churaumi Aquarium, making it a perfect spot to stop by during a drive.
The cafe is tucked away in a quiet residential area near the island’s center. Driving by, you might wonder, “Wait, is there really a cafe up ahead?” But the moment you step onto the grounds, you’re greeted by an open, almost otherworldly feeling.
Surrounded by lush greenery, tropical plants thrive everywhere. Wind blows through the wooden deck seating, with birdsong and rustling leaves as the background music. You probably couldn’t find it without Google Maps, but it’s absolutely worth the trip.
From Naha Airport, it’s about an hour and a half via the Okinawa Expressway.
By bus: Take Ryukyu Bus #117 or the Limousine Bus to “Motobu Museum Mae” stop. From there, it’s a 1-minute walk to the YKB4T Yanbaru Express Bus stop. Get off at “Sesoko Beach Entrance” and walk 6 minutes.
You’ll pass through a thickly overgrown jungle, but don’t give up even if you feel uneasy—just keep going!
Point 2: Introducing Popular Menu Items at ‘fuu cafe’
At fuu cafe, the first thing to check out is their handmade lunch featuring generous local ingredients. Particularly popular are the “Grilled Yanbaru Young Chicken” and the “Island Tofu Hamburger Steak Plate.”
Especially the juicy chicken paired with a sauce softly scented with citrus is exquisite—so delicious it makes you sigh, “This is impossible to recreate at home.”
The photo shows the “Agu Ham Croque Madame,” beautifully plated with vibrant island vegetables.
And the desserts are stars in their own right. From homemade cheesecake and chocolate cake to seasonal dessert plates, each is not only Instagram-worthy but genuinely delicious. The “Sesoko Purple Sweet Potato Mont Blanc Tart” is particularly memorable, both in appearance and flavor, making it the perfect finale for a girls’ trip.
The drink menu hits all the right notes for cafe lovers, ranging from tropical juices that embody Okinawa to organic coffee. The “Island Banana Smoothie” is especially popular—richer than it looks and a favorite among repeat customers!
Point 3: The unique healing experience only at fuu cafe
The charm of fuu cafe isn’t just about the food and sweets. Above all, its unparalleled comfort is what stands out.
While there are indoor seats, the terrace seating is definitely recommended. The breeze feels so good, you might find yourself zoning out for an hour… or more. The staff are also very friendly, and the island’s laid-back vibe naturally seeps into their service.
It’s also great that you can choose seating suited to your situation: spacious seats perfect for families with children, or secluded tables for those wanting to relax in small groups. There’s even a pet-friendly terrace area, attracting many local customers with their dogs.
By the way, if you’re lucky, you might spot one of the island cats popping up on the terrace. With its laid-back vibe, it’s truly a place where you can take a deep breath and relax.
fuu cafe is the perfect healing spot to stop by after visiting the Churaumi Aquarium or playing at Sesoko Beach.
Sesoko Island itself isn’t a flashy tourist destination, but that’s precisely its charm. In this quiet location, surrounded by nature, you can enjoy your meal and feel like you’ve become a local islander. While there are many stylish cafes, it’s rare to find one that lets you blend so seamlessly with Okinawa’s natural surroundings.
You might get a little lost finding it, but that’s part of the adventure. We highly recommend visiting it.
