Summary
Following the first part, the second part and the second day, we enjoyed active sightseeing while enjoying Okinawa’s unique gourmet food! Okinawa is famous for this! While keeping in mind the points that Okinawa is famous for, we also happened to come across a wine that tasted so good that we went to buy it, and we had our fortune told at a fortune teller that we ended up at while chasing after a cat 🐈⬛…! This is a record of the second day, which was filled with unexpected and happy encounters that only a trip like this can bring. ⭐︎

Travel Itinerary
9:00am Delocatessen Trunq Oroku store（デリカテッセントランク 小禄店）
Start of the second day! Let’s start with breakfast.
A delicatessen located in Akamine, Naha City that sells bread, prepared foods, wine, and other items. You can also eat in after ordering food and drinks. I ordered salted bread (100 yen) and hojicha lemonade (550 yen) for breakfast. 8~10am is eat-in only and comes with a morning set that includes salad, ham, and boiled egg for free. The ham is a homemade loin ham made from Okinawan pork, and the salted bread is made with coarse salt from Okinawa and organic butter from Takachiho, Miyazaki Prefecture. A delightful set that will get you excited from the morning 😋.

10:00am Shurijo Castle（首里城）
Next, we strolled around Shurijo Castle.
There was a sad fire, but I visited Shuri Castle because I could see it being rebuilt since then. The main hall, which was burned down, is being rebuilt for 2026, so I would like to visit again when it is completed!
Through the magnificent gate…
Shuri Castle, which is being reconstructed, can be seen just in front.

There are also many photo-worthy spots, and they have become a hot topic on social networking sites.
12:00pm Hamaya（浜屋）
Lunch was at an Okinawan soba restaurant in Chatan, where the soki is excellent. I knew that I could not miss out on Soki Soba on my trip to Okinawa! So I ordered Hamaya Soba (small) (500 yen). Ingredients included an egg omelet and soft, tender soki. The noodles are a little thicker, firm, and frizzy. The soup was too good, with a light salty broth added to it! It was a perfect dish 🤤.
