Makishi Public Market
第一牧志公設市場
Naha's kitchen: on the ground floor you can pick colorful tropical fish, lobsters and Agu pork, then take them up to the second-floor canteen to have them cooked.
Makishi Public Market is located in the Heiwa-dori shopping street beside Kokusai-dori and reopened in a new building in 2023. The ground floor has stalls for seafood, meat and Okinawan specialties, where you can buy turban shells, blue parrotfish, coconut crabs and more. Pay a processing fee (from about 500 yen per person) and the second-floor canteen will cook your catch, or you can order dishes such as goya champuru (bitter melon stir-fry) or sea grapes directly. Opening hours are about 8:00 to 21:00, with the second-floor canteen open from 10:00. The nearby Heiwa-dori and Ichiba Hondori arcade shopping streets are good to explore at the same time. Prices are aimed at tourists, so check prices and processing fees before you buy.
Opening hours
08:00–21:00; closed the 4th Sunday of each month
