An afternoon at Kokusai Street

Kokusai Street also knows as International Street is a mile long street that has many shops and vendors. On weekends the street is closed to vehicle traffic. there are street vendors and performers. We watched Eisa drummers and dancers, along with magicians, painters and many other street performers.
You can find almost any type of “Okinawan” souvenir that you may be looking for, like a Kijimuna! This is the only place that I have located a Kijimuna small enough to bring home. The shops open their doors and try to sell their goods. It reminds me of Times Square or some of the little shops in Branson. You get to the point that once you have been in one shop, you have been in them all. They basically all have the same type of merchandise especially Shisa dogs, shisa dogs and more shisa dogs.
