for such temperatures dues to frequent thyphoons.

AEON's Okinawa Rycom's "3 Appealing Points"
1. Large Water Tank
As soon as we entered the building,
the large tank in the middle of the lobby immediately attracted our attention!
It's an awesome place to take the opportunity to enjoy a variety of fish
in a giant tank while setting the mood!

The Churaumi Aquarium,
famously known as the place where you can see the super large whale sharks!
It is also a tourist spot that represents Okinawa,
so thanks to their cooperation,
an aquarium was set up in the Rycom shopping mall.

2. Sky Diner

| You can enjoy Okinawa's emerald green sea from the rooftop observatory of the shopping mall! |
On the 5th floor of the building is called the 'Sky Diner',
and as you might imagine based on 'diner', has a lot of restaurants.
What's appealing to the Sky Diner is that you get a beautiful view of Okinawa
because it's an open roof structure!

ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Okinawa really seems like a special place—beautiful beaches, rich culture, and amazing people. From what I've seen in YouTube videos, it looks so welcoming and vibrant! I’d love to visit someday and pick up some local treasures, maybe even a branded makeup kit box to bring home!
