Pedestrian Sundays on Kokusai


Story and Photos by William Stroud

Everybody knows about Kokusai-dori, Naha’s famous International Street. Did you know on Sundays, from noon to 6 p.m., it’s transformed into Okinawa’s biggest shopping mall? No vehicles - just pedestrians. Street performers, kids’ games and tables occupy the middle of the road.

Walk the length of the street without having to worry about cars. Let your kids blow giant bubbles, shop to your heart’s content or find yourself a nice outdoor seat for a cup of coffee. Experience the new Kokusai.
