🇯🇵Okinawa American Village is limited to daytime! 🎡Ferris wheel × American retro street photography guide



The American Village in the daytime is a completely different charm! Although many people recommend watching the sunset in the evening, the American Village in the daytime is actually more colorful and super photogenic📸! The landmark Ferris wheel (Depot Island) is paired with blue sky and white clouds, and any photo taken will look like you are at a California beach, without any filters~

The streets here are full of American retro style, with colorful graffiti walls, retro signs and specialty shops everywhere. It is recommended to go to SEGA amusement center to play claw machines, or visit Village House to dig for American groceries. If you are hungry, you can try A&W burgers*, the signature Root Beer's exaggerated cream foam is super special, or go to Blue Seal to eat Okinawa limited ice cream, the purple potato flavor is a must!

There are fewer tourists in the American Village during the day, and it is more leisurely to visit. You can also walk to the nearby Chatan Park Beach to step on the water. The sea water is clear and bottom-up, which is not inferior to the resort beach at all~ If you like taking pictures and want to feel the American atmosphere, the American Village in the daytime is definitely worth a visit!
