recommend to go explore and to eat (besides coco's and sams anchor) on this island? 

What do you like? There is a little seafood place outside Torii that we liked. As far as exploring we like to just drive and stop at wherever looks interesting, and has no Y plates in the parking lot. 

Beach Rock Village, Pizza in the Sky, sushi go round, Kami Sushi, Pizzeria Il Piccolino. 

Try here. 

arin krin. mmmmmm 

Marino's, Tonkatsu Taro, TanTanMen (Ichiban Tei), Kagetsu Ramen, Wafuutei, Kinmatsu Steak House, etc, etc. 

Pizzeria Il Piccolino.  Is that the new pizza place by the seawall? 

Try here.  lmao...okinawahai has been super spammed today. 

Four Seasons, Arin Krin (Garlic House), Marino's, Kitakaisen, Goen (I think that's the name...it's the red/black buildings with blinky lights)... 

McDonalds. 

Not sure where you live but there is this Awesome cafe off the 37. Strange location but modern interior, wifi and several huge windows that overlooks the ocean. Coming from McT take a right at the gate and follow it down until you see the sign for the 37. Turn left and follow down until you see a huge orange and white building on your right. Park and go upstairs. They speak no english but the soup/salad lunch with your choice of chicken/fish/beef was delish. Nice swanky place with soft jazz music playing in the background. Romantic, quiet time with or without the hubby. But I wouldn't recommend taking the kids. It's our new spot! 

Crazy question but what is Arin Krin's menu like. I personally hate garlic so I am wondering if I should even bother. 

mickeys, on BC street. good food, really cheap, nice ladies who run it, and they have just about any type of food you may want. unlimited hot green tea and water, self serve. Y100=$1 exchange too. 

there are quite a few things you could eat there. despite it being "the garlic house." i like the cheesy fried mashed potatoes. i think you'd like the garlic pizza actually. it's just a thin crusty tortilla like pizza with cheese and herbs. yummy. there's broccoli beef too. and chicken dishes, noodles, etc. 

thanks a lot everyone. we will have to try some of these places. yesterday we just drove around looking for something to do or somewhere to eat, we ended up going in a circle. think we might check out a castle this afternoon. 

lmao...okinawahai has been super spammed today. What does that matter? pizzeria Il Piccolino.  Is that the new pizza place by the seawall No. That's Bella Napoli. Piccolino is up in Onna Village. 

My absolute favorite place so far is the ramen bar inside American Village, in the back where the bowling alley is. MMMMM. Also, Toride near Courtney is pretty good/affordable. 

I love the McDonalds & Starbucks off base! 

Crazy question but what is Arin Krin's menu like. Garlicky. 

think you'd like the garlic pizza actually. it's just a thin crusty tortilla like pizza with cheese and herbs. yummy And thin slices of garlic. 

They actually serve garlic water there too. 

My absolute favorite place so far is the ramen bar inside American Village, in the back where the bowling alley is. MMMMM. we went there the other night. so good we plan on going back soon and trying a different kind. their dumplings aren't the best tho. 

My absolute favorite place so far is the ramen bar inside American Village, in the back where the bowling alley is. MMMMM. Beach Rock Village I wouldn't recommend here really. I went once and it was hard to find, plus a long drive, plus the campground part smelled bad. I was a little scared, but the people were nice and they let me chop wood with a hatchet and the young man took me on a tour of the place. There's a nice restaurant next to the primo's kitchen in yomitan right after the ramen restaurant. and The soba house on 23 has great soba and other local dishes but only takes yen, it's right next to the gas station once you pass the payless motors car lot. 

the young man took me on a tour of the place. Did you chop his wood? 

Did you chop his wood?  No, He chopped his wood himself! 

No, He chopped his wood himself! Did you watch? 

Did you watch?  No, I closed my eyes. 

I wouldn't recommend here really. I went once and it was hard to find, plus a long drive, plus the campground part smelled bad. It's definitely hard to find but the pizza was yummy and the view was awesome. 

and then there's tan tan's. if you want to get wasted while you eat. someone else will have to tell you how much it costs, i can't remember. 

think you'd like the garlic pizza actually. it's just a thin crusty tortilla like pizza with cheese and herbs. yummy And thin slices of garlic. There is garlic on garlic pizza? Liar.
