ChanpuruSou Hostel
It’s hard to beat 1500 yen ($13) a night for a place to sleep. This dorm style hostel located near the Makishi public market in Naha has few amenities and may be a little crusty for many but if you’re on a very tight budget, this may be what your lodging solution.http://www.chanpurusou.com

Naha Festival Oct.8
Following from Okinawa Convention and Visitors Bureau:
The main attraction of the festival, Naha Great Tug-of-War is open to everyone! The busy Kumoji intersection of Route 58 will be completely cleared, with the road divider removed specially for this event. Make way for this gigantic rope because it’s a Guinness World Record holder, measuring 200m (656 feet) in length, and weighing more than 40 metric tons (44 Amer. tons, 39 long tons)!
This event definately needs more than 15,000 people in order to pull the rope, and that means we need you too!
After the tug-of-war is over, don’t forget to take home the pieces of the rope that is believed to bring good luck for the rest of the year.
