Is American Village in Okinawa actually worth visiting? 🇯🇵

I visited Okinawa recently and spent some time exploring American Village in Chatan.

It’s one of the most famous tourist areas on the island and has a strange mix of American-style shops, restaurants, and ocean views. It honestly felt very different from the rest of Japan.

I filmed a vlog while walking around the area and grabbing food.

Curious what people here think about American Village. Is it worth visiting or more of a tourist trap?
