Sakaemachi Arcade
Detailed Information
Sakaemachi Market is a historic market located in Asato, Naha City, established in 1945. Approximately 120 vendors, including greengrocers, fishmongers, butchers, and diners, are tightly packed into a maze of narrow alleys. By day, it bustles with locals shopping for ingredients and side dishes. At night, the izakayas (Japanese pubs) and bars light up, transforming it into a popular spot for bar-hopping, attracting both locals and tourists. The market's charm lies in its face-to-face sales style and its Showa-era atmosphere, offering a deep dive into Naha's authentic culture.
