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!

Blue Seal Café Kokusai Street Store
Blue Seal, is the beloved ice cream brand founded in 1948 in Okinawa, renowned for its unique Okinawan flavors, such as beni-imo (purple sweet potato), shikuwasa (Okinawan lime) and salt chinsuko (a local biscuit). With over 20 varieties always available, the lineup at their Kokusai Street store includes both classic and limited-edition products, tailored to suit the hot and humid climate of Okinawa with a rich yet refreshing taste.
The ice cream was cool, smooth, and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness. Enjoying it with the crispy cone added a nice contrast in texture. Sitting inside and savoring it slowly was the perfect way to escape the heat, adding a relaxing and happy moment to the trip.

KOURI SHRIMP
Located on the southern end of Okinawa’s scenic Kouri Island, the nicknamed “North Shore of Okinawa”, KOURI SHRIMP is a specialty food truck serving Hawaiian-style garlic shrimp, right by the emerald-blue sea.
The garlic shrimp at the popular KOURI SHRIMP smelled amazing as soon as it hit the table, with rich aromas of garlic and butter that immediately whetted my appetite. The fresh shrimp were plump, springy, and sweet, and the flavorful sauce made every bite delicious. You can also enjoy beautiful ocean views of Kouri Island while you eat.

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. -
