Here are some places in Okinawa where you might be able to buy hanten jackets or other traditional Japanese-style jackets (＆ places to check for similar garments):

👘 Specialty / Clothing Stores[edit | edit source]

These are shops that sell kimono, traditional clothing, fabric, or related accessories — they may carry hanten or can possibly order one for you:

• Kimono no Nakasone – Highly rated local fabric/store that may sell traditional jackets or can advise where to get them. • 我喜屋 – Kimono shop in central Okinawa; worth asking about hanten or related jackets. • kimono hearts Okinawa – Costume & kimono rental/sales; sometimes these shops have traditional outerwear or can point you to where to buy one. • Japan Kimono Center – Another place focused on kimono; even if they rent, they often sell or order Japanese garments.

These shops focus on kimono & traditional garments rather than festival gear, but hanten (traditional padded jackets) sometimes get stocked or can be ordered through them.
🛍️ Other Shops to Try in Shopping Areas[edit | edit source]

While not guaranteed to have hanten in stock, you can browse souvenir / cultural clothing shops in busy shopping districts like:

  • Heiwa-dori & Kokusai Street (Naha) – Many small shops selling Okinawan & Japanese-themed apparel, souvenirs, and local crafts — good places to ask about hanten. Wikipedia[2]
  • Souvenir shops and larger gift stores like Kadena Gift Corner — may have traditional jackets or know where to find them.
🧥 Tips if You Can’t Find One In-Store[edit | edit source]
  • Ask fabric/kimono shops about custom orders or special orders — many can order a Japanese-style padded jacket like a hanten for you if they don’t stock them.
  • Explore second-hand / thrift stores like Manga Souko or Second Street in Naha/Chatan — Reddit threads suggest they sometimes have unique jackets, and you might find older hanten or festival coats. Reddit[3]
  • Online Japanese shops: If local stores don’t have what you want, several Japanese retailers sell traditional hanten that can be ordered and shipped (some to overseas). WABI-SABI STORE[4]
🧭 What to Ask For[edit | edit source]

In Japan, a hanten is written 「半纏」 (sometimes pronounced happi or hanten depending on style). When asking in stores, show the kanji 半纏 or explain you want a traditional padded Japanese jacket (festival or casual wear).

If you want, tell me which city/area in Okinawa you’re in (e.g., Naha, Chatan, Onna) and I can give more targeted shop suggestions! 5.0Kimono no Nakasone4.7我喜屋4.9kimono hearts Okinawa5.0Japan Kimono Center4.8Kadena Gift CornerMapbox homepage[5]Use two fingers to move the mapMantén pulsada la tecla Ctrl para acercar© Mapbox[6] Condiciones[7]© OpenStreetMap[8]
