Since its opening in August 2015, “Senagajima Umikaji Terrace” has become increasingly popular. Close from Naha Airport, you can freely stop by on the day you arrive or just before your return trip. There are 45 shops such as restaurants and sundry goods stores inside the white building that stands out against the blue sky. You can easily enjoy the resort feeling, so the number of tourists as well as local customers continues to increase. This time, we will introduce four stores that we recommend from among the many stores.

Total weight 500 grams! A “chimufugasu (satisfying)” hamburger that is a hot topic on television

Filled with an American atmosphere, “Hanran Burger Chimufugasu” (Satisfying Overflowing Burger) is exceptionally conspicuous among all other shops in Umikaji Terrace. It is a hamburger shop that has created such a stir that it has been featured on national television. The shop was given this rather unusual name “Chimufugasu” (which means “to satisfy” in the Okinawan language), hoping to satisfy people’s appetite with a hamburger that is filled with such a lot of ingredients that the ingredients are about to overflow (hanran).

The specialty menu “Hanran Burger (¥1,320)” contains 200 grams of hamburger patty and 100 grams of bacon, and the total weight is a whopping 500 grams. The original egg sauce and a spicy sauce combine to let you enjoy a variety of flavors from a single hamburger. Although it is a huge hamburger that stands about 15 centimeters tall, taking a big bite is the Chimufugasu style of eating this hamburger. It is ideal for filling your stomach before going sightseeing.

If you are talking about Okinawa’s B-grade gourmet “Omutako,” then it’s “Kijimuna.”

“Kijimuna,” a taco rice specialty shop in Chatan-cho, has come to Umikaji Terrace. Its specialty menu is “Omutako,” consisting of an omelet over taco rice, which is indispensable in Okinawan gourmet. There is a large variety of toppings, and it is said that many female customers order avocado and cheese-type toppings while many male customers order grilled chicken & garlic. You can select taco meat from three varieties: sweet, medium-spicy, and curry flavor. Chili beans are also available for people who do not eat meat. Omutako is also available in small, medium, and large sizes, so even people with children should feel free to go there.

Since there is a roof over the terrace section furnished with dining tables, customers can feel at ease there even during the day time when it is hot.

Celebrities also visit the store in private, souvenirs, authentic shaved ice iii

Even if you come, you will want to eat "cold food". This "shaved ice specialty store iii (three)" is a shop with a reputation for raw sauce made with seasonal fruits from Okinawa,
fluffy shaved ice shaved by craftsmen, and Okinawa zenzai (JPY500-). The drink "Umikaji-kun (mango)" with a cute colon shape uses Okinawan mango. The thick part is the shaved ice sauce, the smooth part is a drink, and you can enjoy plenty of Okinawan mango.

In the white-based store, III original products such as sweets and seasonings recommended for Okinawan souvenirs are also available. The most popular "Hoshino Crystal (JPY300-)" is a cute candy like star sand, and it seems to be more popular than shaved ice. After enjoying the sweets, why don't you choose a souvenir?

Okinawan Skin Care Brand, "SuiSavon"

With a strong fanbase among the people in Okinawa Prefecture, SuiSavon has expanded to 17 shops in Okinawa and across Japan (as of August 2023). Their Umikaji Gallery Shop is located at the top tier of Umikaji Terrace, offering a spectacular view of the ocean and sky even from within the shop. Shoppers are welcomed by the symbol of SuiSavon, a phoenix, in a botanical display at the storefront.

When you enter the store, you will be wrapped in a pleasant citrus scent. We have a lineup of skin care products that value the natural coloration of plants and the aroma of only natural origin plants. Among them, the botanical handmaid soap "Morning" limited to sea turtle shops is recommended by the staff. It has a refreshing scent reminiscent of the refreshing morning of Senaga Island, perfect for the beginning of the day. There is also a small cube type, so it is recommended as a souvenir for friends.


How was it? Senaga Island is also a popular spot for sunsets. It's a luxurious time to see the sunset over the Kerama Islands in front of you. Also, if you are tired of walking, we recommend taking a break in footbath. There may be traffic jams on Saturdays and Sundays only at popular spots, so if you stop by before returning, please take plenty of time to go to the airport.
