Where is Goyah-so?
Goyah-so is located in Okinawa city. There is Okinawa’s second city in the central part of the main island of Okinawa. In the past, it was called Koza City, and before that it was called Goeku-son.
Close to the highway interchange, “Kaichu-doro” the buridge to island in Uruma city and Katsuren Castle ruins, the Chatan American Village, Yomitan Zakimi Castle ruins, and Onna Village “Ao no doukutsu” bule cave are within 30 minutes by car. Also, going to the “Yanbaru” area with the Churaumi Aquarium can be shortened by about an hour from Naha. Sightseeing spots in Okinawa city are Gate 2 streets that retain the atmosphere of American culture after the war, Okinawa’s only authentic zoo, Okinawa Children’s Country, and the Southeast Botanical Garden on a vast site. But we recommend how to enjoy this town is “Okinawa’s local feeling”. There are many of shops for local peoples, not so much for tourists in this town. Therefor it is not listed in the tourist guide book so much. So you can feel the local atmosphere of Okinawa directly, it can be said the essence of Okinawa that.

And this town has a lot of traditional performing arts. It is a place where many masters of Okinawan folk songs(Okinawa minyo) have been produced, and the traditional performing art called “Eisa” is a very brilliant taiko dance. The post-war American military base wad established. With it not only traditional music but also modern music like a jazz, rock, anti-war folk songs and so on flourished, a place of music town with dozens of live houses open on weekends.
