If you consider yourself a bit of a foodie and you'll be visiting Okinawa this January, check out the Itoman Fair at Michi no Eki Itoman. The two-day event is packed with plenty of delicious eats for attendees to indulge in, including local favorites like soki soba, ultra-fresh seafood, and even various dessert options.
Additionally, there will be delicacies on offer from three of Itoman's sister cities – Atsugi City in Kanagawa Prefecture, Tano Town in Miyazaki Prefecture, and Nanyo City in Yamagata Prefecture. This aspect of the fair provides a fun glimpse into some of the regional cuisine in different parts of the country.
There is no admission fee to enjoy the atmosphere of the event, but please bring yen if you plan on doing some food sampling.
