San-A Urasoe West Coast PARCO CITY — Local services in Urasoe

A very big mall with lots of shop like UNIQLO, Tokyu hands, Can Do Y100 shop, sports shop, supermarket and lots of restaurants. Free parking outside and inside the malls. Prices of UNIQLO is not cheaper here than in Hong Kong. But for some products, there are more colours here due to colours/ products sold out in HK.

It’s kind of touristy and Okinawa has so much more to offer than parco city and American village, but it’s worth it to check out. My favorite places to visit inside are the 300 yen store in second floor and the 500 yen store on first floor. They are super cheap, like dollar stores but they have so many cute things! I’m also addicted to the boba 🧋 milk tea from gong cha which I drink religiously. There is also a massage place on the first deck that I go to after rough McMap days and I recommend. It’s only $20 for 20 minutes and there’s no funny business (you aren’t going to get in trouble with your leadership if you get...
