If you are a fan of Japan’s mega-popular character series Chiikawa, there is a dream destination you cannot miss during your trip to Okinawa: “Shisa’s Souvenir Shop” (シーサーのおみやげやさん).
Centered around the adorable character Shisa—inspired by Okinawa’s traditional guardian lion-dogs—this store is packed with tropical vibes and exclusive local merchandise! What makes it even better is that you can visit either their massive main store or their convenient mini-branch at a famous sightseeing spot.
📍 Where are the Shops?
You can find Chiikawa’s Shisa merchandise at two major locations in Okinawa:
1. Main Permanent Store: Inside PARCO CITY
The main store is located inside SAN-A Urasoe Nishi Kaigan PARCO CITY, one of the largest shopping malls in Okinawa, offering a beautiful ocean view. It features huge character statues and the widest selection of items!
- Address: 3F, 3-1-1 Nishisu, Urasoe City, Okinawa
- How to get there: Take a direct bus (No. 26) from Naha Airport or Kokusai Street.
2. Mini Branch: Inside Shurijo Castle Park

Great news for sightseers! There is an official mini-branch (出張所 – Shuttousho) located right inside Shurijo Castle Park. You can easily stop by while exploring Okinawa’s most famous historical landmark.
- Location: Inside the “Suimui-kan” Shop (首里杜館前売店), the rest center within Shurijo Castle Park.
🛍️ What’s on Sale? Okinawa-Exclusive Goods!


These shops are a paradise for local, limited-edition items that you can only buy in Okinawa. Keep an eye out for these unique designs:
- Shisa-Themed Plushes & Mascots: Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi dressed up as cute Shisa lions, or playing the Sanshin (traditional Okinawan lute).
- Okinawan Flavors: Look out for characters enjoying local treats—like Momonga eating a mango or characters collaborating with Orion Beer (Okinawa’s local beer).
- Perfect Souvenirs: They have a wide range of travel-friendly items such as hand towels, keychains, beach-themed tote bags, and charms.
📸 Tips for Travelers
- Which one should you go to? If you want to take pictures with huge character statues and see the full lineup, go to PARCO CITY. If you want to save time and combine shopping with world heritage sightseeing, the Shurijo Castle Park branch is perfect!
- Don’t wait! Popular limited-edition items tend to sell out quickly. If you see something you love, grab it right away.
