    Okinawa Kunigami-gun Kunigamison Oku 113
    This local cooperative store is located in the Oku Community of Kunigami Village. The store is a kyodo baiten, a type of community funded and operated cooperative store unique to communities on isolated islands in Okinawa Prefecture and Kagoshima Prefecture. This shop, which has been in business for more than a century, carries daily necessities as well as a number of exclusive products not available elsewhere. Offerings such as kunjan nanatu, a rice cake confection enjoyed by countless generations Okinawans, as well as Okumidori green tea from Japan's earliest harvest make great souvenirs. A corner of the shop furnished with tables and chairs has become a favorite place of local residents to relax.

    奥集落の人たちの共同店。生活必需品は勿論、買い物以外でも地域の人たちの憩いの場所にもなっていますね。観光客にも有名な場所で、観光客向けのオリジナル商品も売られています。（奥特産のお茶やTシャツなど）

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
