16 recommended BEST vintage clothing stores on Kokusai Street in Okinawa, JAPAN

I went to almost all the vintage clothing stores on Kokusai Street in Okinawa!  Kokusai Dori, the center of Naha, Okinawa. There are many souvenir shops, but there are also good second-hand clothes shops and vintage shops in the surrounding area. It is one of the well-hidden second-hand clothing spots where you can visit multiple stores within walking distance.

It is efficient to walk from Kencho-mae Station on the Yui Rail towards Makishi Station. Visit all stores and introduce the features and price range of each store.

Especially American casual. Vintage denim, bowling shirts, and western shirts are strong. There are many men's clothes, but unisex used clothes are also available. A genuine vintage clothing store. The price range is around 10,000 yen.

Personally favorite shop with unique vintage clothes.

Lots of colorful vintage clothes with crazy patterns.

About half men and half ladies. There are many old clothes with unusual patterns and patterns, and it is a flashy store that I really like. The price range is about 3000 to 10000 yen.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20220122110624j:plain

There are many old clothes in good condition. The size is also good, so there are plenty of unique second-hand clothes that you can actually wear and enjoy. In particular, the selection of sports jerseys and all-patterned nylon jackets is wonderful. The vintage Adidas setup was about 15,000 yen, and I really wanted it in colorful colors. If the size fits, I would buy it.

Si8 (Sippa)

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20220122110755j:plain

High quality low price vintage clothing store. Mainly American casual. There are some kids' and ladies' items, but most of them are men's items. The name of the shop, Shippa, seems to mean "stubborn" in the old Okinawan dialect.

http://si8.ti-da.net/

Near Ukishima Street and a short walk from Kokusai Street. It's in the middle of a very steep slope. There are a lot of cats around this shop, probably because there is the first Makishi public market. The inside of the store is not large, but it is a second-hand clothing store with good cost performance.

One of my personal favorites is vintage soccer uniforms. There are plenty of cool retro uniforms and jerseys around the 90s. A characteristic second-hand clothing store that conveys your love for soccer. It's so cool. really like.

OKINAWA VINTAGE

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20220122110641j:plain

A large-scale second-hand clothing store that is rare in Naha. Opening in 2020. Cheap, high-quality second-hand clothing stores like Okinawa Vintage are the gateway to the vintage world. I used to buy a lot of old clothes at shops like this in places like Shimokitazawa. Very good shop.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20220122110644j:plain

The number of stocks is top class even in Naha. It's probably the biggest vintage clothing store near Kokusai Street.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20220122110650j:plain

It mainly sells second-hand American clothes, but the quality of the second-hand clothes varies because some of them are recycled. Still, it's uniform and cheap anyway, so there's so much inventory that you'll definitely find the second-hand clothes you like. Women's and men's are easily separated, but mostly unisex. If you look for it, you will also find American vintage. Levi's 501 made in US was 3000 yen.

Sister store near Okinawa Vintage. The Sunrise-dori shopping street in this area is close to Kokusai-dori, but it has a local atmosphere and is fun to walk around. I like taking walks while eating Jeff's goya burger.

https://www.instagram.com/awesome2021may/

It's in the same arcade shopping district. We also have quite a lot in stock.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20220122110701j:plain

The products are not much different from Okinawa Vintage, but this store is easier to see, probably because there are fewer people or because the aisles are wider.

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20220122110707j:plain

This store also has a large number of second-hand clothes for 5,000 yen or less, and is one of the stores with the largest inventory of second-hand clothes around Kokusai-dori.

Hinode General Store

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20220122110710j:plain

There were also some military uniforms. The price range of used clothes is around 3000-10000 yen. Depending on the vintage used clothes, there may be bargains because they are cheaper than the market price.

ANKH

f:id:kurakurakurarin1991:20220122110630j:plain

Just looking at the exterior, it looks like a shop, and the atmosphere is a little dubious. It doesn't look like a thrift store. However, when you step inside, you will find a wonderful second-hand clothing store with a unique world view.

The rounded font of the store name is cute, with a hippie culture and good old rock and roll feel.

USED&VINTAGE CLOTHING CYCLONE

One of the famous vintage clothing stores in Okinawa. If you go to Naha Kokusai Street, you can't miss this place.

The area around Kokusai Street is surprisingly wide and has a difference in elevation. Just off the road a little, there are many slopes. You can go around on foot, but if you want to go around comfortably and efficiently, we recommend using a shared bicycle. Since it is an electric bicycle, it is easy to move and you will not get tired. There are several bicycle-sharing companies, but Churachari operated by Docomo Bike Share is the easiest to rent. Registration is troublesome, but it is more troublesome to go around on foot, so we recommend using it.
