My Perfect Slow Day in Naha, Okinawa
Come along with me for a slow and relaxing day in Naha, Okinawa.
I start with lunch at one of my favorite curry shops in the city, Ryukyu Dry Curry Restaurant “gachimaya~”, before stopping by Shisa Pan MIA for a cute Okinawan sweet treat.
After that, I hop on my bike and ride over toward Naminoue Beach, where I relax with a smoothie at ニジイロカフェ / Nijiiro Cafe and pick up something for dinner.
Nothing too ambitious today — just good food, a bike ride, the beach, and enjoying Naha at my own pace.

I'm glad you were feeling well while out and about! I was thinking while watching, that I'm sure it helps to be in a small comforting environment and talking to the camera as a bit of distraction. Gets you out of your head a bit. I have suffered from anxiety and panic a bit over the years and when you find something small to get relief, you latch on to it. Mine, is to vigorously rub the top of sides of my upper legs (it sounds strange but the sensation distracts me from the other parts of my body that are trying to misbehave). With your meditation and morning rituals and routine, having a comforting cafe and people you are familiar with seems to help you very much. Thank you for sharing with us today! You keep me company while I do my artwork!
Thank you for taking us along.
You rented a bike… so smart! What a great idea. And the pineapple bread looks beyond delicious and beautiful. What a fun, relaxing and just what I needed type of video. You make me happy. Cheers my friend
This is exactly what I needed to see today. Just pure, unpretentious peace. I can almost smell the ocean and the sizzling food from here. Adding Naha to my bucket list.
Go to Shirahama in Wakayama.
Oh my! The food! I can’t wait to go back to Okinawa and try your recommendations!
Glad to see you getting out and visiting old acquaintances and enjoying some favorite foods. Stay positive, Shinichi!
I love that this helped you feel better. I don't know if journaling could help you but could write down what made you feel better and how you can achieve that when your anxiety is bad. I know it takes sometimes one hour at a time, I'm glad you had some time feeling a bit better, sending lots of well wishes.x
I'm so glad you ended up having a relaxing day with good conversations and comforting, delicious food, Shinichi-san! You inspire me with your determination to improve a difficult day, if you can. Thank you for taking us with you. Sending love and uplifting vibes. ♥
The way you describe the flavours in your videos is very helpful, I have become more adventurous because of that, thank you!
Awesome post. Thank you for taking us alongside with you. God bless you. 🙏🏾✨️
Shinichi, welcome back to Okinawa! Hope you have a great trip. September 6th is my 7th year anniversary here in Okinawa. Take care!
Thank you guys, good to see you again. My late mother was born in Naha, came to USA about 1975. I've been to Okinawa on my first birthday, that's all.
As a person who struggles with anxiety i know how you feel. I recommend you wear a lepidolite bracelet for your anxiety, or Amethyst is good too. Anyways take care of yourself Shinichi-san. Wish you well from Canada.
So great to see you had a much better day. More days like this to come! 🤗
Indeed, sometimes a change of scenery helps reduce anxiety. Keep up the awesome work, Shinichi. And, take car.e 🫂
That some beautiful weather☀️
How wonderful to be able to enjoy relaxing great Okinawa; Mahalo for sharing❤
I’m happy to see this post and I’m stoked that it’s for Okinawa!
i love that tiny pyrex measure cup!
Glad you are doing better!
Hi Shinichi! You are looking good. Glad you had a wonderful, relaxing day in Okinawa. Thanks for taking us along. One day we will visit Okinawa again and visit the places that you and Satoshi enjoy. Take care my friend.
