6 recommended BEST vintage clothing thrift stores in MIyako island, Okinawa JAPAN

I went to a second-hand clothing store tour in Miyakojima!

Miyako Island is undergoing resort development. One of the prosperous remote islands of Okinawa following Naha and Ishigaki. Japan's longest free bridge, Irabu Ohashi Bridge, is famous, and the sea is just beautiful. In fact, it is also a popular music island, and there are several live houses and rock bars for the size of the island. There are several second-hand clothing stores in Miyakojima, and they are located near the downtown area, making it easy to stop by. There are no vintage clothing stores on remote islands such as Irabu Island.
