As the gateway to Osaka, this airport has quite a few great restaurants, including the famous 551 buns and Kamukura ramen. They're both super delicious. The restrooms are also very clean. If you're going to Kyoto, take the HARUKA. The seats are a little small, but still very comfortable.

SAN-A Urasoe West Coast PARCO CITY
Jointly operated by PARCO, which runs fashion buildings across Japan, and SAN-A, a supermarket chain in Okinawa, SAN-A Urasoe West Coast PARCO CITY is housed in a six-story building, with its 1st to 3rd floors serving as a commercial area. Boasting 78,000 square meters of retail space, it stands as one of the largest shopping facilities in the Okinawa region.
I don't know if it's because this PARCO is mostly high-end boutiques, but AEON Mall feels more fun to browse. Still, there are cute shisa here, so I recommend stopping by. The shisa here are even tan versions, and they're really super cute.

AEON MALL Okinawa Rycom
Opened in 2015, this is one of the largest shopping malls in Okinawa Prefecture. The five-story complex houses around 220 shops, including fashion, lifestyle goods, gourmet food, and entertainment facilities. Based on the concept of an “Okinawa Resort Mall,” the mall is filled with attractions and events that let visitors fully experience Okinawa through shopping and dining.
I went in December, when it was almost Christmas, so there were Christmas decorations everywhere, as well as a Christmas Pikachu. This place is huge, so I recommend setting aside a whole day to explore. There are tons of stores, including an inexpensive Daiso.

Naha Airport
Naha Airport sits on Okinawa’s main island, serving as Japan’s southern gateway to the world. Flights here service a regular roster of domestic flights to major cities including Tokyo (Haneda), Osaka (Kansai), Nagoya (Chubu), and Fukuoka, while international routes link Okinawa directly with several Asian destinations. In addition to frequent flight options to Okinawa’s outlying islands, including Ishigaki, Miyako, and Kume, the airport sees over 20 million passengers each year.
Naha Airport is the gateway to Okinawa, and the station here is also Japan's westernmost station. After landing, you can take the monorail and reach downtown in no time. Naha Airport also has lots of great souvenirs and food, so you can grab something to eat and drink before heading into the city.
