Tourist spots where you can experience American culture in Okinawa

The American-style street buildings in the village are the most common everyday scenery in Chatan. But the unusual scenery will definitely refresh you.

The large Ferris wheel is very eye-catching. Mihama American Village is located in Chatan Town on the west coast of central Okinawa Prefecture. As the name suggests, it is full of American exoticism and is a photogenic spot. American-style shops, entertainment facilities, and hotels are lined up in the streets, just like a fashionable travel destination in the United States.





American Village



American Village is divided into several areas. In addition to shopping and food, it also has leisure hotels, movie theaters, and hot springs. The streets are lined with coconut trees, and the brick sidewalks are perfect for a leisurely stroll. We recommend you take a ride on the Ferris wheel, the symbol of the village, to see the beautiful scenery from sunset to late at night. You can also look out over the beautiful night view of the entire street when the lights are turned on. The large free parking lot is also one of the highlights.

Chatan Fisharena



Chatan Fisharena is a waterfront area near the American Village. Here, you can walk along the wooden path while feeling the breeze, enjoy seafood dishes made with local ingredients at the hotel, or enjoy a quiet time at the cafe or bar with a view. Chatan Fisharena is easily accessible from the hotel, and you can easily take a cruise to start a happy sea entertainment sightseeing. It is also a special experience to stop on the boat to enjoy the sunset and feel the exotic street scene of the American Village.

Araha Beach



Speaking of the most representative beaches in Chatan, the Sunset Beach and Araha Beach adjacent to the American Village are undoubtedly the most popular. The beach is lined with coconut trees and lined with open cafes, which is full of unique style. It is a good place for barbecue and sea entertainment, and it is very lively. Although Araha Beach is an artificial beach, it has a similar scenery to a natural seaside beach. The beach is 600 meters long, with smooth and fine white sand, set against a large expanse of cobalt blue transparent sea water. The popularity of this place lies in the fact that you can enjoy the fun of barbecue while looking at the sea. Visitors can choose from a variety of sea entertainment projects such as diving, kayaking and SUP.
