Lined with numerous restaurants and with a large commercial complex and resort hotels nearby, American Village is always packed with both locals and international tourists.

New shopping areas, including Chatan Fisharena have opened one after another in the Mihama area, adding more yet more attractions to the booming resort area. On the Miyagi shore of Sunabe area, not-to-be-missed breakfast cafés and other eateries dot the colorful coastline.

In sunny, beachside Chatan Town, a peerless view of the ocean against a backdrop of the sun setting beyond Kerama Islands is one of the town’s most charming daily highlights. Welcome to Chatan, the largest resort town in Okinawa, where you can enjoy an exotic, slow-paced atmosphere.

Araha Beach is one of Chatan’s iconic attractions.

This 600-meter stretch of beaches is one of the largest in Okinawa’s central area, offering a picturesque landscape, views of the Okinawa Convention Center to the left and the Kerama Islands straight out to sea and a bewitching view of city lights at night.

The beach is part of Araha Park, which also features a replica of a pirate ship – the park’s landmark – along with enough playground equipment to brighten up children’s holidays. A leisurely cycle path to American Village, three-on-three basketball courts and a wide variety of marine activities, including banana boating or jet skiing are also on offer.
