Hi, I’m Tabi!

Nanjō is a city in southern Okinawa Island. Discover coastal scenery at Cape Chinen Park and the limestone gateway at Tamagusuku Castle Site. Worship continues at the site, so respect permitted paths and local rules.

This guide covers places within Nanjō, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The tourism association introduces Okinawan tempura such as fish, squid and mozuku on Nanjō’s Oujima Island. Check each shop’s actual ingredients, origins, allergens and current menu. No food photo is included because a suitable image was not verified.
