Senaga Island (Umikaji Terrace)
瀬長島ウミカジテラス
A small island beside Naha Airport with a whitewashed, Mediterranean-style terraced shopping street, where you can eat, shop and watch planes take off and land while enjoying the sunset.
Senaga Island is linked to the main island by a seawall and is only about 15 minutes' drive from Naha Airport. Umikaji Terrace, built into the hillside of the island, has over 40 whitewashed shops selling mango shaved ice, Okinawan-style tacos, handmade accessories and more. The slope offers wide views, and planes pass almost overhead, so watching the sunset here in the evening is very popular. The island also has a hot spring hotel. Shops are open roughly 10:00 to 21:00. Parking is free but tight on weekends. It is ideal as a stop on the day you arrive or just before you leave, and you can also take the airport's free shuttle bus, though its schedule is limited.
Opening hours
10:00–21:00 (hours vary by shop)
