Compared to the bustling American Village, the Minatogawa residential area offers a tranquil and relaxed atmosphere, imbued with an artistic atmosphere. Here, time seems to slow down, allowing visitors to relax, savor the unique charm of each small shop, and experience Okinawa's unique blend of Japanese and American charm.
I held up my umbrella, like a fragile shield, capturing a few frozen moments of youth amidst the vibrant colors of the houses.
Although each house looks similar, it's painted in a uniquely charming color. The plants and clever decorations create a perfect photo backdrop.
In addition to driving, taking a bus from Makishi Station to Minatogawa is very convenient and highly recommended for planning a trip.
