Uoren ’s Place

Gyoren’s Place Yanā Amerikaā is a place to eat in Onna Village, Kunigami District, Okinawa. Because it’s run by a family in a private home, it’s an “illusionary” spot that only people with reservations can visit. You can make a reservation via their Facebook page following the rules. The restaurant welcomes guests who won’t disrupt the warm atmosphere, so people who only want to judge it or go as a prank should avoid it. It’s a place for people who can naturally respect others as people. The food lineup is like a Western-style izakaya, featuring Okinawan home-style dishes and heartfelt family cooking—so you’ll enjoy it best if you have the mindset to appreciate that. While the rules may sound strict, if you are simply considerate, you’ll be fine. You can eat until you are full, so go with an empty stomach. Access is by getting off at Seragaki on the Nago Nishi Line operated by Ryukyu Bus Kotsu, then walking 1 minute.
