Oku Kyodoten (Oku Community Cooperative Store)

Other Store
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)
  • 村の交流の場になってます

    他にはコンビニもスーパーもなく、唯一の売店として村の真ん中に奥共同店があります。広い店内には食べものやら生活用品が並んでおり、食べものは特に必要なかったので、可愛いやんばるのワッペンを幾つか買いました。この共同店は明治時代末期に設立された歴史があり、設立者糸満翁の記念碑があります。隣にGSもあり。

    前後しばらくの間、コンビニもなかったので、大きめの清涼飲料水の缶を買って水分を補給することができて助かりました。割と広かったと思います。
