Kokusai-dori is always bustling with people, regardless of the season or day of the week. Right in the middle of the street, at the entrance to Heiwa-dori, is the T-shirt specialty store "T-SHIRT-YA.COM Kokusai-dori Store."

More than 200 types of T-shirts are always on display in the store

After getting off at Makishi Station on the monorail and walking along Kokusai-dori for about 5 minutes, you will see an illustration of a "Welcome Shisa." This is the landmark for the T-SHIRT-YA.COM Kokusai-dori store.

At the entrance, there are rows of colorful T-shirts that give off a typical Okinawan vibe. After climbing the stairs to the second floor...

Lots of T-shirts and Kariyushi wear!

"It depends on the season, but we have over 200 different types of T-shirts. Most of them are originals that can only be purchased at T-SHIRT-YA.COM. In addition to works by our in-house designers, we also have collaborative works with creators active in the prefecture."

That's what Iramina, who works at "T-SHIRT-YA.COM," told us. "T-SHIRT-YA.COM" currently has three directly managed stores in the prefecture. The PARCO CITY store, the AEON Mall Rycom store, and here, the Kokusai Street store. According to Iramina, each store has its own unique features.

The PARCO CITY store in Urasoe, downtown Okinawa, has many local customers, so they stock Kariyushi wear, a favorite among Okinawan business people as an alternative to suits. The AEON Mall Rycom store in Kitanakagusuku is popular with inbound foreign tourists in addition to local customers, and they tell us they stock a good balance of Kariyushi wear and original T-shirts.

The Kokusai Street store, which is the closest to HOTEL RESOL TRINITY NAHA, is visited by many tourists from both Japan and overseas. For that reason, they stock a wide variety of T-shirts and dresses with a resort feel.

Another feature of the Kokusai Street store is that many people visit for reasons other than sightseeing.

"Naha City is the business center of Okinawa, and many people come to Okinawa for business purposes. For that reason, some people come to our Kokusai Street store looking for Kariyushi wear to wear as an alternative to a suit during their stay in Okinawa. That's why we have a wide variety of Kariyushi wear.

By the way, when you think of Kariyushi wear, many people may imagine flashy shirts, but at T-SHIRT-YA.COM we have a selection of designs that are easy to wear on a daily basis."

We want you to enjoy your T-shirts wherever you are, even after you return home from your trip.

T-SHIRT-YA.COM was started by the previous president, who was originally involved in apparel wholesale, and began manufacturing and selling original T-shirts with his friends.

"Around 2000, T-shirts were starting to gain attention as an important fashion item. I took notice of this and started selling my own original T-shirt brand online.

When we started selling online, we sold T-shirts with high design that stood out on their own, regardless of whether they were "Okinawan-like" or not. In 2005, when we opened a store on Kokusai-dori, we started stocking T-shirts with Okinawan tastes."

Since then, as times and customer demographics have changed, T-SHIRT-YA.COM has expanded its product designs and lineup beyond just T-shirts to include Kariyushi wear and dresses. However, the company's original goal of "making highly designed apparel that can be worn on its own" has never changed. As if to prove this, many people buy the products for "everyday use."

"We have a wide selection of T-shirts and dresses with designs that you can enjoy not only while you're in Okinawa, but also when you get home. Each designer has a different brand's taste, so I'm sure you'll find something you like."

Okinawa has a higher average temperature than the mainland. Because people spend a lot of time wearing short sleeves, they are very sensitive to T-shirts, which may be why highly designed shirts like those at "T-SHIRT-YA.COM" are created.

Be sure to check out "T-SHIRT-YA.COM" located right in the middle of Kokusai Street. There you can experience the atmosphere of Okinawa through the T-shirts.
