AEON MALL OKINAWA RYCOM The Ultimate Shopping Experience in Okinawa.
Kitanakagusuku | Okinawa's Largest Shopping Mall | Dining & Fashion
Shop to Your Heart's Content at Okinawa's Largest Mall.
Located in Kitanakagusuku Village, AEON MALL OKINAWA RYCOM is the largest shopping mall in Okinawa Prefecture. Domestic and international fashion brands, dining, and entertainment facilities are all gathered under one roof, making it a top leisure destination beloved by both locals and tourists. With approximately 230 stores, including many shops carrying Okinawa-exclusive products and souvenirs, it is perfect for finding memorable gifts from your trip.
The dining zone features a wide variety of restaurants—Japanese, Western, and Chinese—from renowned Okinawan cuisine restaurants to popular cafés and fast food. The food court has a different atmosphere from Naha's Kokusai Street, where you can casually enjoy local flavors and national chain offerings. A cinema and children's experiential facilities are also available, making it perfect for families to spend the whole day. The name "RYCOM" derives from the former US military facility "Ryukyu Command" that once occupied this site, subtly evoking Okinawa's history.
From central Naha, AEON MALL OKINAWA RYCOM is about 30–40 minutes via the Okinawa Expressway. Travel comfortably in SUI TAXI's Alphard, with plenty of room in the spacious interior for all your shopping bags. It's also close to American Village and DMM Kariyushi Aquarium, making it very convenient as a combined central Okinawa shopping and sightseeing course. We can also flexibly accommodate round trips from your hotel or a stopover from the airport.
