All Reviews of Naha City First Makishi Public Market

One of the local markets you have to visit when you come to Naha! It's packed with Okinawan specialty ingredients, and you can find everything from seafood, fruit, prepared foods, and dried goods to souvenirs. As soon as you enter the market, you can really feel the atmosphere of everyday life in Okinawa. Although there are still quite a few tourists now, it still retains the lively and welcoming atmosphere of a traditional market. You can browse while eating, check out all kinds of unique ingredients, and experience a slice of daily life that's as close as it gets to how locals live.

If you come to Okinawa, you have to check out Makishi Public Market! You’ll see colorful fresh fish, local vegetables, all kinds of pork ingredients, and so much more. Just walking through the market feels like getting to know Okinawa’s food culture.

I recommend coming in the morning to browse at a relaxed pace, while the afternoon lets you experience the lively market atmosphere. Don’t be shy—chat with the shop owners. You might even get a little freebie at checkout, adding a fun surprise to your trip!

Known as Okinawa's kitchen, this place sells all kinds of local seafood, Agu pork, Ishigaki beef, and other fresh ingredients.
