Naturally leavened bakery with a small outdoor eating area offering panini's and cafe drinks alongside baked goods. Great for a light bite.

Bakery Suien | パン屋 水円
@maricaramina
A bakery in an old traditional home that specializes in naturally leavened bread using local ingredients. High quality coffee and drinks with ample indoor + outdoor seating. The kind of place where you could spend hours catching up with friends over deep conversation.
The parking lot is located a 2 minute walk away just down the main street.

Mugiyakiya | 麦焼屋 自家製天然酵母パン
@maricaramina
Small family-run bakery on a hilltop of Onna that uses local ingredients and natural leavening. The eat-in area offers sweeping views of the ocean. If you're lucky enough to go on a day when they have homemade ice cream, don't pass it up.
BYO containers or bags to avoid single-use plastic waste.

Pain de Kaito
@maricaramina
Best bakery in the northern part of the island. Go early in the morning for the best selection as they sell out quickly. The line usually moves fast but expect to wait in line outside during peak times.
Takeout only - BYO containers or bags to avoid single-use plastic waste.

Tokiwaya | 石窯パン処 ときはや
@maricaramina
Natural yeast bread, hearth-baked on-site in an old military house hidden in a quiet neighborhood off of a busy roadway. The depth of flavor with all of their bread is second-to-none. They offer made-to-order sandwiches and drinks. Eat-in available.
BYO tumblers and containers for take-out.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Mari Caramina
Hi, I’m Mari! I live between the US and Japan and have called the beautiful island of Okinawa home for the past 4 years. Okinawa has 47 inhabited islands and I’m on a mission to travel to all of them - 28 down, 19 more to go! I’ve also traveled extensively across Japan and lived in Tokyo for over 10 years.
Japan is a wonderful country but can be difficult to navigate with the language barrier, especially if you’re interested in diverting from the usual tourist path. No two travelers are the same - I can help you build an itinerary that’s just right for you so you can make the most of your visit to Japan!
My guides consist only of places that I've actually been, so rest assured they are properly vetted and aren't just compilations of popular locations.
I live a low waste, natural, mostly plant-based lifestyle to honor this planet that sustains life and my travel style reflects this. I prefer to travel slowly while experiencing culture through food and non-touristy activities centered around unspoiled nature. I'll venture into a metropolis every once in awhile but I'm usually itching to escape by the end of day 7 (how I managed to live in Tokyo for 10 years is a mystery).
If this sounds like a style you align with, I look forward to hearing from you!
