Woman's Market Nakayukui

Nakayukui Market is a market brimming with tropical fruits and vegetables from the island (mangoes, passion fruit, dragon fruit, and more) brought by local farmers. They're incredibly fresh, and many items you can't find in supermarkets are hard to find.

The food court is also bustling with goods, with stalls selling easy-to-drink Okinawan delicacies like seaweed rice bowls, seafood with sea urchin sauce, Okinawan zenzai (sweet red bean soup), and shaved ice.

The friendly staff were also impressive, offering tastings and instruction on fruit selection. The souvenir section is spacious, and even browsing the processed goods, sweets, seasonings, and local sake is fun.

However, due to its popularity, the market can get crowded on weekends and during the day. If you want to take it easy, it's best to arrive early. Overall, I highly recommend this market. It's not just a "stop-and-go" spot, but also a place where you can experience the local flavors and atmosphere.

Located in Onna Village in central Okinawa Prefecture, it's a popular tourist destination.

Onna no Eki Nakayukui Market is famous for its sata andagi, a popular local snack. and famous shaved ice. Market opens from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
