Google maps allows us to enter the interior of the Ichiba Hondori arcade, which is filled with a fascinating labyrinth of stall-like shops.

These malls could be easily missed if we’re not looking for them. They’re just south of the monorail station on Kokusai Dori. These are among the sites that I hope to visit on my first trip to Okinawa for Taikai 2016.

The “Donki” Don Quijote Kokusai Street Store is also close by.
