As you all know, Okinawa Island has many famous tourist spots.
Today I'm in the south, tomorrow I'll be in the north... I often rent a car and travel all over the island.

Driving through beautiful scenery is enjoyable in itself, but why not take a little detour and make your trip a little different from the usual?
In such situations, I recommend "AEON MALL Okinawa Rycom"!

"Aeon stores are all over the country, so I wonder if it would be fun to visit as a tourist?"
For those of you thinking that, it would be a shame to miss out on taking a detour!

3. Three reasons why you should stop by Aeon Mall Okinawa Rycom

First, let me briefly explain why Aeon Mall Okinawa Rycom is the ultimate stop-off spot!

1-1. A great place to stop by on your drive to the north!

First and foremost, its accessibility is a major plus.
Aeon Mall Okinawa Rycom is located in Kitanakagusuku, in the central part of Okinawa Island. It's about a 10-minute drive from the Kitanakagusuku Interchange on the Okinawa Expressway.

The northern part of the main island has many famous tourist spots such as the Churaumi Aquarium and Nakijin Castle Ruins, and Kitanakagusuku is on the way if you are departing from the vicinity of Naha Airport.
In other words, it's very easy to make a detour and take a break during your drive!

1-2. There are many tourist attractions in the surrounding area!

One of the advantages of Kitanakagusuku is that, in addition to Aeon Mall Okinawa Rycom, there are many other tourist attractions in the surrounding area.
The estimated driving times from Aeon Mall Okinawa Rycom to each location are as follows:

★ American Village, a collection of stylish shops, is about 15 minutes away.
★ "Okinawa Children's Land," a fun experience for the whole family, is about 10 minutes long.
★Nakagusuku Castle Ruins, a World Heritage Site, is about 10 minutes away.
★Minatogawa Foreigners' Residences is recommended for girls' trips, about 25 minutes away.

Even during a trip to Okinawa, where you'll likely be doing a lot of driving, you can enjoy yourself without getting tired from driving if you make some clever detours!

1-3. It's a little different from the familiar Aeon!

And most importantly, Aeon Mall Okinawa Rycom is a little different from the familiar Aeon-affiliated shopping malls!

The vast site houses a whopping 230 shops!
We offer a wide variety of products, from well-known brands to Okinawan brands.

Even brands based on the mainland sometimes carry items exclusive to Okinawa Rycom, so it's worth checking out your favorite brands there.

Furthermore, the shopping mall has a large aquarium-like tank, and on weekends they hold stages and live events... it's a resort-like experience that you can really enjoy!

2. Worth a detour! Here are our recommended shops.

Taco rice is one of Okinawa's most representative local dishes. Hot rice topped with plenty of meat, vegetables, and cheese... Mmm, it's irresistible when you're really hungry!

"Tacos and Tacorice KIJIMUNA" is a restaurant where you can easily enjoy Okinawa's exquisite cuisine. What's more, they serve a super popular dish called "Omutaco," which is already delicious taco rice topped with fluffy eggs!

If you want to create even more memorable travel experiences, we recommend adding toppings to make your own original taco rice.

The food court has a great open-air terrace and comfortable sofa seating, making it a perfect rest stop during a drive. A mouthful of taco rice will surely make your driving fatigue disappear!
