Attractions
Put Shuri Castle at the top of your list of places to go during your stay in Naha. This former palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom, of which Naha was the capital for four centuries, is not only one of the most beautiful castles but also one most important historical sites in the city. And though centuries of wars and fires have destroyed Shuri Castle many times over, most recently in the Battle of Okinawa in 1945, the meticulous reconstruction that was completed in 1992 is a certainly a sight to see.
Adventures
Check out Naha's boating and fishing excursions, clearly one of this port city's most popular tourist activities. If you arrive during the Naha Hari festival, you might be able to catch one of the famous dragon boat races. Or you could try channeling your inner "karate kid." Naha, a major center for the martial arts, is home to a style known as Naha-Te, or "Naha-hand," which eventually blended with others to become the foundation for today's karate-do.
Shopping
Kokusai-dori, known as the heart of Naha, is not only one of the best areas for food and entertainment, but also one of the best places to shop. From one end of this main thoroughfare to the other, you'll find an eclectic mix of high-end boutiques, souvenir stalls and army surplus outlets selling American military leftovers. And if you happen to be experiencing shopping mall withdrawal, you can get your fix - all nine stories of it - in downtown Naha.
Currency
The yen (JPY) is the currency of Japan.
