- Today we're going to take a walk along Kokusai Dori, the most commercialized part of Naha in Okinawa. When I came last year, I was practically the only visitor walking along the streets. What is it like this time especially since the state of emergency was lifted? Let's check it out.

When I was 7 we lived down the street from an A&W in Oklahoma city and was flattened by a tornado one night.
Thank you for your hard work Shinichi
Nice hair today!
And thank you for putting all of the effort you guys do in the TabiEats video and all of your other videos. My partner really appreciates the Japanese subtitles to improve their Japanese. And I love the editing style of TabiEats; it’s so professional looking! Also, I really hope that this vlog channel isn’t too straining for you since it’s like a really long uncut video for half an hour or so of you just enjoying the atmosphere.
Please remember that your health is the most important thing! And your time too! Don’t stress too much about editing. We love you guys and still will love you if you do less editing work!
I love your walking tours. Feels like I’m walking with you.
This brought back so many memories from my trip back in 2018. 😭
I would love to visit Okinawa one day! My hubby was stationed there when he was in the service. Thanks for sharing Shinichi 💜
Oh bless you Shinichi, this was so much fun as always you never fail to surprise me with these walking video's . Any tourists would totally enjoy Okinawa and what it has to offer. Beautiful 💜💚💛👍
Thanks for taking us along. Okinawa is on my "bucket list" when we eventually come back to Japan. I appreciate it when you show us vegan / veggie options .;. I do eat fish but no meat or fried foods. You are a "hoot" as our guide, keep sharing.
I still have my little A&W child-sized root beer mug. We went there all the time when they did drive up service and attached your tray to your window.
Yes A&W is here in Canada too.
That was a really interesting walk I love checking out sidestreets.
You should at least take a day off to recuperate.
The fish in the aquarium. You said hi to a Humuhumunukunukuapua’a the Hawaii state fish. Lol
My dog going absolutely mental at the television because she can hear the sounds the traffic lights make, and thinks its in the house. 😂
Praying to the God's Japan reopens this year. I'm quietly optimistic, even with current global waves.
Great vid as always. 🙌🏼
This tourist would love to go to Okinawa! You'd want to live near the chinzuko place :D
THANKYOU for these videos. They bring back good memories. But oh my goodness how times change. I lived in Kadena area in mid 1980’s.
Nice walk Shinichi. I love how the train had faces on it. That was cute! And you know if you moved there it wouldn't be special anymore. Now you can go every now and then for vacations and it's a special fun time you can look forward to.😊
And btw I was wondering... do you need two Shisa statues at your door or can you have one?
I think your decision not to move to Okinawa is wise Shinichi. Save this lovely place for special times so you can savor it when you visit. 🏝🥰
おもしろいですね。Thank you for the video. Refreshing.
lovely walk 🦋 🦋🦋
it is a mind trip that Soul Sister by Train is apparently STILL haunting this entire earth in 2022.
Mahalo for all of your videos that I started watching especially on Okinawa which I visited 30 years ago. I really appreciate the references to Hawaii, since I’m local. I need to go back to Okinawa since half my family is there (mom is from there). Anyway, too much vala au. Take care.
We stayed in the Hotel Gracery in Kyoto and I loved it. Small yes, but a good breakfast and nice soaps in the room.
Thanks Shinichi for the walk today Enjoyed seeing the different local shops and the Monorail at the end looked fun. Arigato 👍😀
Thank you for your videos of Okinawa. Will be there in March and hoping all is still open there
I so enjoy theses walk you take us on the view awesome sight enjoy it a lot thanks for sharing this video take 😘
My grandfather brought the A&W franchise to Guam in the 60s. It was the 1st A&W franchise to open outside the mainland US.
That’s so interesting! Do they still have A&W there?

It's kinda interesting for me because I started with your main channel but lately I've really been loving both of your individual channels as well. as they ad a unique balance to your other ones. Loving your content, both of you are so kind. I can't wait to get back to my home in Koto-ku after being away since the pandemic started.
I love Okinawa, it's a place I'd love to retire to one day. My cousin lives there and she does tattoos there.
Those beni imo tarts looked fantastic!! Is always good when travelling/work travel to have at least 1 day to relax and take it easy! Thank you for showing us around Shinichi!
1969 a Marine on my trip to the "Police Action" in South East Asia it was second stop but Uncle Sam was in a hurry to get us Vietnam so two days looking through base fences and bus trips from and to Air Base but this time on my way to revisit "Nam" I will take a second look? But at local places, when living in Mexico I keep it local wanted to enjoy Mexico.
About a mile and a half, Shinichi. Love this video, just as I love all your travel videos. I would very much like to see you make a video about Japanese braiding. I’m working on a takadai braid right now.
It is like going on a tour with you.
at 29:02 you see a nice little store where we always go eat taco rice whenever we are on Okinawa.
Again, a lovely walking tour. Thank you. I am so impressed at how sparkling clean streets are. Almost like Disneyland. Constant pride of ownership.
I love ube! An asain market opened up near me and they have ube icecream, porridge, and cookies! I'm so happy!
I am not able to travel, but Okinawa looks great! I would like a video on where could a person buy souvenirs, figurines, bowls, etc shopping where residents shop?
Very nice tour of the main drag! Too bad more shops weren’t open.
Hope you had a nice time in yokahama
Wow 23:38 that restaurant called Gabusoka say they invented soki soba! I never knew one restaurant could claim that.
I love sweet potatoes 🍠 but I never tried the purple ones yet!!!! Look so yum!!!!💜
What an interesting sweet potato store!
Looks very lively.
Me neither, never been to A&W in America. Nice Entrance to the hotel. I love Sushiro! Maybe the economy is slowing down.
Mahalo for walking down Kokusai Dori. But I was disappointed that you ended your walk at the rail station. Kokusai Dori actually is a little longer than that. You would have seen the bakery/cafe in Hotel Royal Orion. The bakery is good, my daughter really loved it. Hopefully the little restaurants on that section of Kokusai Dori are still open, too.
Good morning . It’s Friday here in San Antonio, Texas, USA.
Aloha Shinichi!
😲😱🤔SHUT THE FRONT DOOR WHAT YALL KNOW ABOUT R&B MUSIC WHEN HE'S STANDING AT THE ICE CREAM SHOP I CAN HEAR THE SONG I WANNA BE YOUR MAN BY ZAPP AND ROGER I CAN'T WAIT TILL I CAN GET ON A DAMN PLANE AND SEE THIS STUFF FOR MYSELF 🙄
Excited, but very worry about new income, moving there near future.will old agreement be kept from otay valley, or has the exchange brought dead road to are agréement to franchise Ryu titles.
Hi, when is the best time of the year to visit okinawa? Tku
perhaps the rent is too high for small cafes and bakeries and such on this main street
The A&W at our mall back in the day used to sell hot dogs.
That’s one thing I haven’t seen in any Japan vlogs. I assume Japanese folks don’t eat hot dogs? Or is it just a rare thing?
We have hot dogs but they aren’t too popular here. I believe the A&W in Okinawa offer hot dogs as well.
1.243 miles = 2 kilometers
Kinda looks like kalakaua st in waikiki
I like the video. But I would like to make a correction and I hope I'm not being rude. It seems Japan does not have mainland since it is an island. Okinawa is a small island of the many that conform Japan... just a thought...sorry in advance. Keep it up and thank you for sharing your videos with us
When was this filmed?
Oh how I wish I could make it to Japan to visit my daughter in Niigata. I was all ready to go in March of 2020, but then the world came to a standstill. And now with this new variant I hear that Japan has closed it's borders once again. 😞 if you happen to run into a Curly haired American on the streets of Niigata, tell her that her mom misses her, lol.
Has anyone else noticed the heart-shaped light reflection in the green water of the river?
面白いなビデオを、ありがとうございます
恋縄に行きたいです ：）
Since you asked, one mile equals about 1.6 kilometers
naha, the home of namie amuro
1.6km - 1 mile
You have an excellent Okinawain (HawaiI) ? accent
Does anyone know what that beeping noise is in the background
It's for pedestrian crossings. Chirpy sounding one is side streets and cuckoo sounding one for main street.
It helps people who cannot see navigate.
Japan even considerate towards disable or blind people. Their city always build for pedestrian instead of car user.
Are the tourist that visit Okinawa primarily from Tokyo?
No. The tourists come from all over Japan, and from many foreign countries as well before pandemic.
Universal mask wearing. Social distancing as much as possible. Medical professionals not politicians making the plans. Extremely high vaccination rate. Recognition that this is something to be addressed rather than dismissing it. Lastly, respect for eachother and in particular...the "older" population. Japan....you have your act together. The World can learn something from you.
Yeah if you already live in Japan mainland don’t move to a distant island. But it is still a nice place to visit, vacation or retire.
You're most likely hungry, dehydrated and need some more sleep. Try to rectify those things before jumping on the supplement train.
