Oujima Imaiyu Market – Tamagusuku, Nanjo City.
Opened in 2014, the Oujima Imaiyu Market is an experience-based interact facility on Oujima.
“Imaiyu” means “fresh fish” in the Okinawan dialect.
A facility that sells fresh fish landed at the Ou fishing port, which is just a stone’s throw away from the building, as well as processed marine products and local vegetables.
It’s almost the same facility as Naha’s “Tomari Iyumachi” and Nago’s “Nago Fishing Port Seafood Direct Sales and Restaurant”, but Oujima has been attracting customers for decades thanks to its tempura driving course. I think this kind of facility could have been built earlier.
But well, It’s could say that it’s a modern build because it didn’t planned up in a hurry.
There is also a paid shower (200 yen), so it is convenient if you come by car and swim at Ou Beach.
Recently, all these facilities have started rental bicycles.
Ginoza village “Roadside station Ginoza” also renewed the facility and start rental electric bicycles quickly.
We can enter the toilet from here, but the flow of people is from the another side.
