Shima no Eki Miyako

Shima no Eki Miyako has everything from classic sweets and awamori that makes a perfect gift to local crafts that capture the spirit of Miyakojima, plus fresh vegetables and fruit grown on the island.

The sweets made with Miyakojima specialties such as mango, purple sweet potato, and brown sugar all have the warm, handmade feel of treats carefully made by local cake shops and restaurants. Awamori from the island’s six distilleries, each with its own distinct flavor, and craft beer made with Miyakojima’s water are also popular.
Fresh vegetables come with handwritten pop-up notes describing their flavors and recommended ways to eat them, making it easy to enjoy the taste of Miyakojima at home. Since vegetables have a short shelf life and are not sold at the airport, it’s best to stop by and buy them right before heading to the airport on your way home.

The food court, where you can enjoy Miyakojima gourmet, is another highlight. It brings together beloved local favorites such as Miyako soba from “Chojiya,” made with carefully prepared broth and seasoned with Miyakojima no Yukishio salt, “Fruit Quicher,” where you can enjoy freshly squeezed sugarcane juice, “Shokupan no Nishizato,” known for its delicious fresh bread that tastes great all the way to the crust, and “Fish Lab Uojuku,” where you can savor seafood from the waters around Miyakojima.
