Daiichi Makishi Public Market

**Overview** Ride Yui Rail into the Makishi end of Kokusai Street and continue on foot to the public market. This works as an arrival-day outing because you can shorten it to a stroll or add a meal upstairs. Start on the fresh-food floor to see what vendors are selling, then compare the upstairs options before committing to a seafood purchase. If a vendor offers cook-up service, ask which kitchen prepares the order and what the total will be. The nearby arcades give you options if your group wants different food or needs to escape a shower. **Key metrics** - Market reopened: March 2023 - Dining floor: 2nd floor - Cook-up last order: 19:45 **Pros** - Central location works with a short first day. - The market combines shopping and lunch. - Adjacent streets give you several walking routes. **Cons** - The lanes can feel cramped with large bags. - Seafood preparation can cost extra. - Stall hours and building hours can differ. **Best for** First-time visitors sleeping near central Naha who want a flexible meal and a walk. **Things to watch out for** Use the operator’s last-order times as a planning limit. Give yourself time to choose a stall and find a table.
