Okinawa attracts tourists throughout the year, but the fact that it is home to many delectable steakhouses is relatively unknown. Kokusaidori, a tourist-friendly shopping street not too far from Naha Airport, is the place to be if you want to grab this opportunity. Here's a list of unmissable steak restaurants in Kokusaidori, from popular chains to hole-in-the-wall establishments.
