Meredith already posted an entry about this store last year, but an Okinawa Hai reader has revived interest in it (thanks Jessica). The store is called Nishimatsuya and is located outside Camp Foster on the beach access road. Although, most of us call it the Rabbit Store. Can you guess why?
If you’re looking for cute kids clothes at great prices, this is the place to go. The biggest sizes go up to 130/140, which is supposed to be around a size 10/12, but my 7-year-old son barely can fit into their largest size of 140.
They also have basic baby supplies such as diapers, bottles, etc. and some maternity items. Their selection of kids shoes, hats, and swimwear is awesome. I guess what makes it so awesome is the amount of cuteness for the low price.
The store is open 7 days a week from 10 am to 9 pm.
Directions: Go straight out the main Lester gate past the drive-thru Starbucks on the corner of 58. At that first light there is a convenience store on your left. Take that left. You’ll follow that road until you’re about parallel to the Foster Commissary gate. The store will be on your left. It’s a large white and pink building. Hard to miss. There is plenty of parking.

“There are at least 4 stores that I have been to. One out Gate 3 area, one in Chatan, one in Nago and one on old 58.”

There is another store in the Okinawa City area off of 329 in the Mihara neighborhood. Google 3-18-15 Mihara, Okinawa-shi for a map.
Oooh… baby clothes. Thanks for the info on this. I don’t have kids yet, though I looooove shopping for baby stuff. So, until I have my own, I’ll be content with a new place to shop for my preggo friends. Yay!
I went to this store today and LOVE it. We got a shirt, pants, and shoes for my son and it only cost 1000 yen. GREAT DEAL! and really cute stuff too.
There’s a store that I’ve been to in Nago that is right on 58 and next to a DIY store and a Pachinko or arcade. I believe it’s called Birthday. They have a pretty good selection of maternity and children’s clothes. Oh, btw, the DIY store also has a 100 yen store inside.
Another store that I like is Shima Mura (I think that’s the name) outside of Kadena gate 5 right after the “foot bridge” close to Coco’s. I’m sure you all have seen it before. It’s a fairly new store. It reminds me of Marshall’s and Ross Stores – they have everything from clothes, shoes, accessories, and home decor – even small furniture.
I love this store! I haven’t been in there, but I think there is one up in Nago….right on 58 on the opposite side of the road of Jusco…..around the same stretch as the Nago Jusco.
