Introduction to Umikaji Terrace on Senaga Island

This shopping mall is made of white buildings. The blue sky and the blue sea are set up with a large white house, so many media call it Little Greece. However, the biggest feature is actually the commodity side, such as the unique fruits and vegetables of Okinawa, and the use of local Gourmet desserts with main ingredients, jewelry and handicraft shops made in Okinawa, are the points that these shops want to attract customers, not names such as Japan’s Little Greece.

 ▲ Okinawa is still quite hot in early September, and the evening is a more comfortable time for outdoor activities.

 ▲ The flower language of hibiscus is "thinking".

Sharing experience of Umikaji Terrace on Senaga Island

Forget it, there are a total of 47 gourmet desserts and various shops. Happy muffins are definitely a common word-of-mouth list on the Internet. The business is very good and you need to make an appointment in advance. If you want to sprint to the scene, you need to go there early in the morning, otherwise it is like ours. Take your time leisurely. Of course, when I arrived at the scene, I had no place for a long time. I could only look at the delicious muffins on the menu and sigh. I hope I will have the opportunity to eat happy muffins next time!

We ordered a bowl of ice and watched the sunset and seascape. There was a plane taking off on the side. It was indeed a leisurely holiday atmosphere. The little hamburger slept in the stroller and was blowing in the cool sea breeze. Come over, take him to take pictures and watch the plane.At the beginning of the evening lights, various shops and the beautiful sky color temperature are good, but we have to take the children to dinner, a group of us reluctantly leave, really want to travel to Okinawa again.
