Gate 2 Street: Live Music

Live music is a big part of Okinawa's nightlife. Naha City is without doubt the most popular place for live music, but Okinawa City's Gate 2 Street is where Japanese Rock was born. There are still many clubs here that date back decades with very high quality musicians taking the stage.

Clubs, bars, and music!

The main island of Okinawa has excellent nightlife, especially in Naha. Around the island you can find anything from nightclubs to casual beach bars. In the summer, there is plenty of action at the beach resort areas while Naha City stays busy all year round.

Dress Code: The style of dress for most Okinawa clubs and bars is usually pretty casual, but some of the more upscale nightclubs have dress codes so it's a good idea to know in advance where you are going.
