shops and they've all opened up as you can see lots of shops here and most of the shops are open now alright guys so so I'm filming so we let her do that and we're now walking along coxai Street just giving a little short walk before we say goodbye to you today and I'm very happy to say that the tourists are back actually we're walking on the quiet side of koksaidori we came from that side and that's like the center part of kokkaidori a lot of people it's pretty crowded today if you didn't know already cook sideori is like the Waikiki of uh Okinawa it kind of reminds me of Waikiki but different it's completely different there's no ocean nearby it's just City but you know there are palm trees and there's lots of souvenir shops on both sides of the street and it's about a mile long there are lots of um lots of souvenir shops a lot of ice cream shops too which is great uh blue steel ice cream is probably the most popular ice cream in Okinawa yes it is and oh there's a train that just went by that is a you they do I wonder if we will have time to go on the train this time yeah my mother says she wants to go but I I I'm not sure I mean where are we gonna go with a train when we go back to the airport I don't think that really you think that's not a good idea I feel like I don't think it's good because I have big suitcase it's not a good idea it's not let's take a taxi we're almost at the end of koksaidori so as you get towards the end I think it just gets a less crowded it is quieter kind of nice actually but at the same time there are some stores that are closed because there are less people there used to be a nice um like soap shop around here that I used to frequent but they're gone I think this bicycle shop has replaced that Silk shop this is a new shop too Noodle Factory foreign ever since I first came to Okinawa like 20 years ago this is a hotel and This Is the End of koksaidori actually yeah yeah we were looking for a store but that's gone and actually this is brand new too this coffee shop yeah 27 20 Okinawa it was used to be something else yeah and there's a little Park here public restroom if you need and there's also some nice shops down this street here I think I think I guess that's like little Korea Town I think so we're walking to a shotengai a very local shopping Street but before that check out the koi nobody the carp hanging this is to celebrate boys day actually I just noticed there's some carp up on the ceiling as well a little bit more to the shorten guy this is a river I have to show you this River we actually walked along upstairs so I couldn't really show you anything very unscenic route but yeah this is a very nice place to take a walk or sit down and have a cup of coffee here yeah big fish oh yeah but they all kind of like went away they swam away as soon as we came okay do you guys see it that is the very ritual shopping Street where no tourists come what is the name of this place in general anyway but it made you pronounce differently um is has a different pronunciation yeah so here it is guys the Retro Shopping Guy yeah so these are some old-fashioned eateries like right under this roof here you can eat local food here and there are some shops here because this is after all you know it's fashioned shopping Street there's a little produce shop here you sure let's see which way should we go yeah a lot of the shops are closed now because you're only open during the day like like these areas so it'll create the base right here let's go down this way there's a little coffee shop here feels like like we've like time slipped don't you think it's like time slipping to a different time there's some shops in here this small little Alleyway here's one right here [Music] some people living up there hold on oh more coin nobody so it's a mixture of like these shops you know that that are open during the day and then there are some shops that open at night yeah the wine bar here craft beer place I think here's some more eating places okay great I love this area this is so cool all right this is pretty cool Hello Kitty Cat how are you hello [Music] yeah I found this place when I came here a long time ago when I was just walking around the city so it's like a maze yeah all right and then these are like the meat shops which is why they're closed these shops are open during the morning hours right here I'm gonna say goodbye for now because we have to start heading back to the hotel to check up on my mom but anyway hope you enjoyed this video like I said please visit makishi Market it is the
