shop#154 Crafts Mochizuki

Here is used to be a rice store, opened in 1902. Now the store is closed down but is opened on weekends as a china shop. The interior is the same as the old time. They collect beautiful china made by artists living in Okinawa. Be careful, the shop is opened only on weekends. Though the shopkeeper doesn't speak English, the prices are put on every products.  I am sure it is worth seeing the building itself.
