1 Best Bar in Okinawa, Japan

Dojo Bar

Makishi Fodor's choice

Okinawa is the birthplace of karate and a place of pilgrimage for black belts from all over the world. During the day they punch, kick, and block under the tutelage of martial arts legends, then in the evening they eat and drink at the Dojo Bar. British ex-pat James Pankiewicz started the Dojo as a place where both locals and foreigners could mingle—it has great food and atmosphere. Try a shot of goya juice. Across the road is the Asato Dojo where you can try karate for the first time, or keep up with your training while visiting Okinawa.
