Yocchaare Center is located right on the bay, and you'll probably pass by it if you arrived on this side of the island if you came via ferry.

There are many things to buy as gifts/souvenirs, and an excellent restaurant on the second floor! Everything was about 1000 JPY, and you can get extra rice for an extra 100 JPY.

You will probably be introduced to this place regardless, but you really need to go and chow down on that fish!
All their info is on their official site too btw:...
