Umikaji Terrace
Senaga Island with a 1.8km circumference is connected to Naha Airport with a marine road. This is where a multi resort facility stands. White buildings line the slope facing the emerald green ocean. It looks like a little town. The beauty was designed after the European resorts such as the Amalfi Coast in Italy and Santorini Island on the Aegean Sea.
The pristine white buildings are built into the hillside, set against the blue ocean and sky. The scenery is absolutely beautiful—it feels like being in a small Mediterranean town.
Senaga Island has plenty of unique restaurants, cafés, and souvenir shops where you can enjoy great food along with ocean views. What impressed me most was seeing planes fly directly overhead. Watching them take off and land from so close was incredible! -

100-year-old House, Ouya (Ufuya)
"100-year-old House, Ouya (Ufuya)" is a restaurant located in a renovated old Ryukyu house at the end of a mountain path that makes you wonder if there really is a restaurant down the road from Nago City ”.
Agu pork is Okinawa’s signature black pork. The meat is finely textured and tender, with evenly distributed marbling and a natural sweetness. It didn’t feel greasy at all and left a lasting impression.
For the Agu pork shabu-shabu, lightly swish the fresh pork in the broth for a few seconds, then enjoy it with Okinawa’s special dipping sauce. The meat was tender and juicy, with a rich sweetness in every bite. The fresh vegetables were delicious and added even more variety to the texture. -

Pork Tamago Onigiri – Makishi Market Branch
If you’re visiting Okinawa, don’t miss the chance to try Pō-tama-a beloved local specialty served up at this dedicated shop.
This is a famous local Okinawan rice ball. It looks simple, but the first bite pleasantly surprised me. The chewy white rice is paired with thick slices of meat, tender egg, fried shrimp, and seaweed. Every bite is layered with savory flavors and incredibly satisfying.
