About this spot

This is one of the largest shopping malls in Okinawa Prefecture, located in Nakagusuku Village (中城村), which borders Okinawa City. It has a wide range of food court options and restaurants, making it a perfect place to fuel up before entering the pool. Being able to escape the strong midday sun and rest in the air-conditioned mall is also a valuable point on a day centered around an outdoor pool. Restrooms and a nursing room are also well equipped, so it's a reassuring stop for families with small children.

Tips

It's recommended to keep your meal light and avoid overeating before the pool. The food court can get crowded during busy weekend lunch hours, so plan to move with some time to spare.
