Shopping at AEON MALL after experiencing the nature in Okinawa
Okinawa is two and a half hours away from Tokyo and one and a half hours away from Taipei by airplane, and is filled with activities that you can only experience here. However, are you worried about a place to pray? In Part 2, we will be introducing to you several Muslim friendly restaurants and tourist attractions located further north of Naha City, as well as the mosque in Okinawa.
Masjid
Okinawa Masjid
Okinawa masjid is the central of Muslim community in Okinawa. It is located close to the Ryukyu University, so international students often visit for praying. The mosque has a very warm atmosphere, where you will find Muslims and non-Muslims eating curry together after praying.
Muslim-friendly Restaurant

Tourist Attraction
Forest Adventure in Onna
A spot recommended for anyone wanting to have a thrilling experience. You can tie a lifeline rope to yourself and glide the sky. It is located at a hilltop where you can look down to see the ocean, so if you are scared of sky gliding, you can also have fun hiking.
Cape Manza
This is the place to go if you want to view the clear sky and beautiful blue ocean of Okinawa. When you walk along a route through the prairies from a cliff, you will start to see the ocean spreading infinitely towards the horizon. There is also a famous rock shaped like an elephant’s trunk.
AEON MALL Okinawa Rycom
AEON MALL is a shopping mall found anywhere in Japan, but at AEON MALL Okinawa Rycom, you can find one-of-a-kind souvenirs such as Okinawan lion dolls. There is also a prayer room in the mall, which is happy news for Muslims.
OKINAWA GRAND MER RESORT
Many Okinawan lions will greet you at the entrance of this hotel. The restaurant serves Muslim-friendly menus, and you can also ask to have a prayer mat delivered to your room. It takes about 7 to 8 minutes to AEON mall by taxi.
Okinawa is warm throughout the entire year, and is a very pleasant destination to travelers from warm climates such as Indonesia and Malaysia. There are much more highlights in Okinawa, so we hope you can arrange a plan for a trip to Okinawa.
