The roads around the Kakazu paid parking lot are extremely narrow. If you actually go and see the surrounding roads, they are so narrow that two cars can barely pass each other.

Even people who don't usually drive can park with less pressure.
I'm also happy that it's close to Kokusai Street.
×Demerit
One concern is that the popular parking lot tends to get crowded. It's especially crowded on weekends; when I visited on a Sunday, there was a line at the entrance and exit.
Therefore, it would be a good idea to decide on a second choice for parking as well.
Also, on Sundays, Kokusai Street becomes a transit mall (pedestrian zone), so access from the Kokusai Street side is not possible.
During transit mall operations, surrounding roads will also be restricted, so please allow ample time to enjoy sightseeing on Kokusai Street.

Another great feature is that there are two entrances and exits, making it easy to get in and out of the parking lot.

×Demerit
Compared to the parking lots introduced in this article, a disadvantage is its distance from the central shopping area of ​​Kokusai Street.
It takes a little over 10 minutes to walk to Kokusai Street.
Also, please keep in mind that the parking capacity is limited, and that there is a median strip along the road next to the Yui Rail.

○Benefit
Located in front of the Okinawa Prefectural Government building, which could be considered the entrance to Kokusai Street, it can be accessed directly from two entrances on the road.
During the peak travel season for Okinawa, from May to September, there are occasional downpours, so underground parking is convenient as you won't get wet when getting in or out of your car on rainy days.
Furthermore, the pedestrian entrance is located right at the Prefectural Office North Exit intersection, which could be considered the entrance to Kokusai Street. This allows you to enjoy Kokusai Street from one end to the other in an orderly manner, making for an efficient sightseeing experience.
×Demerit
Because it was underground, the parking lot got extremely hot during the summer.
I think it depends on the heat inside the car and the degree of ventilation, but you should be especially careful about the humidity and heat in the summer.
It's probably best to avoid leaving food or souvenirs unattended.

Grand Orion Street Parking

The parking lot and entrance/exit are spacious, and the road leading to the parking lot is also wide, so you can rest assured that cars can pass each other easily.
×Demerit
Since it's also the hotel's affiliated parking lot, many people park there for extended periods, resulting in a low turnover rate and it may often be full.
It's also close to Kokusai Street, so the competition is likely to be high.
