Directions

[socalheart]

The age old question of "How do I get to ... ?" will no longer plague us here! Tada!! Just ask your direction question here and wait patiently for an answer. If no one responds within 24 hours, no one knows how to get there... or the place you want to go doesn't exist in this reality, because we're a bunch of know-it-alls. :p

Those answering direction questions, please answer in English and include maps preferably in English also when possible. Thank you! :D

How do you get to that hooker joint that SexWax was talking about where they are dressed as school girls and you could have more than one at a time and drink free beer?

[NotSoAverageWife]

Thanks socal! I know I have asked a few times for directions. But I know you guys would be the BEST to ask. Have always been great at giving them. This is a great idea!

[OliG515]

Does anyone know how to get to The Body Shop? I know theres one in Naha but I have also heard there is one off of the 85 in the Jusco. Is there more than 1 Jusco on the 85? i know where the one is that used to have the housing store in it. Thank you in advance for any help!

[socalheart]

There's only one Jusco on the corner of Routes 85 and 33. I don't know if they've moved a Body Shop into the place though. Good luck with your search though. :)

[OliG515]

yeah, i went there today and there was nothing. so i drove the other way to see if maybe there was something over there. nope. im thinking i mis interperted "body shop" from the artical. cause there was a body shop over there but it was for cars. :thumbdown: my search continues!

My wife took me to an AEON mall about 12km down the toll road coming from Kadena and heading toward Naha. It has a body shop in it. It's right off the toll road. I'm sorry I don't have any detailed directions, but yeah it's there

[P_chan]

I believe there is one in the Haebaru jusco in Haebaru, same one you're talking about Rossi. To get there get on the expressway and head south towards naha. Once you get on the expressway stay on it until the Nishihara JCT exit. The expressway will split, left goes to the Nishihara JCT and right goes to the Naha exit. Make sure you stay left and go though the toll gate at Nishihara JCT. You'll have to pay toll here, it should be 450 yen from the Okinawa minami entrance. Go though the toll gate and get off on the first exit which is the Haebaru kita exit. You should be able to see the big ass jusco by now and once you get to the light go right and bust a u turn to get into the parking lot from the little side street running underneath the express way. The body shop is in this jusco, near the supermarket IIRC.

[trissytrissy47]

This is a little late, but I'm heading out of Tomari Port tomorrow morning...not entirely sure how to get there.

I know it's south on 58 and there will be a sign pointing it out to the right, but about how far is the drive from Kadena Gate 1?

I'm notorious for completely missing my exit so a time estimate would be nice so I know when we've been driving too long.

The streets down in Naha freak me out more than visiting Chicago ever did.:scared:

I tried googling this but I can't read any Japanese and I'm not that great of a googler. ; ;

Sorry and thanks for hasty replies :P

[DJ Tak]

30 minutes with no traffic, hour and a half with rush hour traffic.

[trissytrissy47]

Oh dear. I suppose early morning will tend to be rush hour? I dunno I'm a night owl and never see 58 in the morning. We hope to leave here by 7:15 am

[socalheart]

30 minutes with no traffic, hour and a half with rush hour traffic.

Bring something to read, in case you get there earlier than expected. :D What? It could happen. :p

[trissytrissy47]

I of course take DS everywhere

Will make sure it's fully charged. XD

[okisteve]

It is pretty hard to miss Tomari Port. Pass the intersection for Makabi after you leave the long overpass from Urasoe. A landmark to watch for just before you get to Tomari Port is a tall building with a sign that says "Agre" in English (a local magazine). Shortly after there is a big building on 58 on your right at the intersection of Rte 29 called TOMARIN (except it might be written in kana - sorry abt that...). You can actually see the boats and ferries from 58, so just take a right turn into the port. It is quite small and there is no danger of not finding whatever you are traveling on.

[trissytrissy47]

Ooooh thanks ever so much. Very helpful. :)

If I could thank you twice I would, okisteve. Or maybe thrice.

I have a picture of the ticket place for Queen Zamami, the boat. Was just concerned about the port itself.

I wish I had been introduced to JU forums earlier. :D

[Sex Wax]

I'm looking for directions to my house. Can someone help me out? I'm drunk and I dont know where I am and I dont remember where I live. Thank you.

[NewGuy08]

Does anyone know how to get the the Forest Adventure Park? I'm coming from Foster if you know where that is. I heard that you take 58 North but that's about all I have. Thanks.

[P_chan]

Take 58 north to onna. Just stay on 58 until you see the sign tell you to turn left for Madea Point, turn left here. The rennesiance hotel should be at the signal you turn left at. Continue down this road and keep and eye out for the forest adventure park sign on your left hand side. The office for the park will be on your left hand side and there will be a sign on the building. It's easy to find if you get on the right road, and this is the easiest way to get there IMO. Just go into the office and ask if they have enough open reservations to let you go though the park. You can call in advance, but you might want to find the place the day before so you don't get lost and miss your reservation.

[NewGuy08]

Do you normally need a reservation then? I did not know that and was planning on just showing up Saturday morning..... Thanks for the directions, that does not sound too bad.

[socalheart]

MCCS (http://www.mccsokinawa.com/calendar/index.asp?event=4144) is taking a tour group to Forest Adventure Park (http://www.forest-adventure-onna.jp/) this weekend... tomorrow.

[happyone83]

any one know how to get to Okinawa Sosai Jyo?

[P_chan]

I just showed up on a saturday around noonish and I didn't have a problem. Depends on how many people are going. I only had four people, including myself, in my group. I think you'd be fine if you just showed up but you never know.

I'd advise against takeing a MCCS tour there. It's really not rocket science and easy to get to. They speak enough english for you to go though the park so you'll be fine.

[P_chan]

I've never heard of that place. What kind of place is it and does it have a different name?

How about directing us that don't have access to English maps access to English maps.

Oh and while I am at it here do you think you could draw me a map to Sex's house? I want to send some cute aliens his way.:D

Where is the Okinawa Civic Hall located? How is parking?

[P_chan]

I know where the okinawa city hall is, but I've never been there so I don't know the exact directions. I know if you go straight out gate two and pass the four corners you can see it if you look to your left down one of the streets. It's actually a fairly large building and not easy to miss. Wait you are talking about the city hall right?

I know I've heard people talk about this place before but I can't remember the name. It's manga something and I know I've asked about it before but can't remember where. I know it's in the awase area and you get to it by going straight out the foster legion gate. Anybody know what place I'm talking about? If you do, do you know how to get there?

[Muku]

Where is the Okinawa Civic Hall located? How is parking?
P sorry but the city hall and civic center are two different places.

The civic center is located across from Kadena Air Base.

Go out Gate Two, take a left at the lights and get onto Hwy 85 go north to the 2nd lights and take a right. It will be on the left right in front of you. Its the grey area on the map that has the kanji 沖縄市民会館　Otherwise known as the Okinawa City Civic Center.

Sorry I forgot about the parking answer.....

Depending on the event being held there it can be a pain in the butt.

I think I know the city hall you're talking about. Pretty large, 2 years ago I saw some Okinawan kids breakdancing out front. My and my friends just went up and watched, coolest thing we saw in a long time.

P the Okinawa City Office is out Gate Two past the 4 corners intersection, otherwise known as the Goya Intersection, go straight past the police station on your right for about 200 meters or so and take a left right before the Koza JHS which is on your right. There are signs posted in English on the road as well.

Are you talking about Manga Soko, which is the buy anything place in Awase near the Okinawa Sogo Park?

Go like you said go out the Foster Legion Gate and go straight down through the Toguchi Intersection at Hwy 329 and keep on going straight like you are going towards the ocean. Follow the road along the ocean for about 1 to 1 1/2 kilometers or so past a Coco's Conbini and Manga Soko will be on your left.

[Courtney]

I could use directions to the babiesRus/toysRus. AND that giant 100yen store I hear everyone talking about

[Courtney]

How do I get to Kokusai St from Kadena?

Go left out Gate 1 and just stay on 58 until you see the turn for kokusai street on your left hand side. Plenty of small parking lots on the back streets.

I'll post a map in a second.

[P_chan]

Ok, here is a map of where to turn off of 58 in Naha to get to Kokusai Street.

use the Toys r Us map that was posted. Pass McDonalds like you're headed for Toy's R Us, keep going straight until you get to the light with the Lawsons on the corner. Turn into the Lawson's parking lot and it's the lottle place between Lawson's and MGM.

Seriously? That little place next to the Lawsons under the karaoke place? I don't like raamen as a matter of course, but I know people who do. Thanks. :)

ate there last night. Tonkotsu ramen (milky broth, made from boiling pork bones that have been broken to expose the marrow) is a champ there. Fried rice is good, gyoza is just OK. Self serve barley tea and water. friendly staff, picture menus for those that need them. It's great in the winter.

I'm also a fan of the ramen place behind Obbligato and Krishna's, been going there since before that had a roof.

you forgot genghis khan!!!!

I could see Ghengis khan from my apt..i finally tried it...wish I hadn't...so nasty!:crying:

[Undakai]

I just got on island a while ago, and to my misfortune, upon getting on island my PS3 crapped out, something about an overheating problem (I can only play it for about 5 minutes). Obviously it's a fan issue, but I'd like to avoid spending about 100$ sending it back to the states for repair (let alone all the running around I'll have to do just to get it sent there). I was wondering if there was a Sony store somewhere offbase that I could possibly get it looked at/fixed, or that just sells something that will cool it.
