Hibiscus on a Shisa!
The Charm of "Okinawa-Inspired Motifs" That Showcase Great Taste
The star of the customization is, without a doubt, the Okinawa-exclusive embroidery designs. Featuring motifs inspired by Okinawan traditions and nature—such as shisa, hibiscus, and eisa—these designs strike the perfect balance with GAP’s signature simple and sophisticated style. They don’t scream “tourist souvenir,” which is a major plus, as they blend seamlessly into your everyday outfits. You can subtly infuse your favorite piece with a touch of Okinawa’s atmosphere.
Matching Outfits for the Whole Family!
Even the time spent figuring out where to place things becomes a "treasure of the journey"
The best part of this experience is that you get to decide where to place the embroidery. Should you add a small design to the chest, or go for a hidden detail on the cuffs or the edge of the hood...? The time spent pondering, “Would this look cute here?” while discussing ideas with family and friends is truly one of the joys of the journey. If you embroider a name or a cute character onto a small child’s clothes, it’s sure to become their absolute favorite outfit in the whole world.
Finished it while I was out shopping!
Perfect for indoor activities on rainy days
You might think, “Doesn’t embroidery take a long time?” but one of its appeals is just how quickly it’s done—as little as 10 to 15 minutes per spot.
Since it’s located inside an outlet mall, your order will be ready by the time you’ve finished browsing the other stores. Even on rainy days when outdoor sightseeing is difficult, you can enjoy shopping and customizing your items in the comfortable, air-conditioned store, allowing you to spend your time luxuriously without worrying about the weather.

The perfect location to start or end your trip
It’s just a 15-minute drive from Naha Airport. It’s a great place to visit on the first day of your trip to pick up some clothes to wear during your stay, or to stop by on your last day to make the most of your time before your flight. With a spacious, free parking lot, it’s incredibly convenient for tourists traveling by rental car. The surrounding area also features attractions like the “DMM Kariyushi Aquarium,” making it a great spot to enjoy all day long.

This time, we ordered embroidery for a total of 16 items (lol)
Because I was so particular about the placement, I feel an even deeper attachment to it now that it’s finished. With such an affordable price of 600 yen per spot, I can’t help but get carried away, thinking, “I want one here, too!” The hoodie, which I spent several hours carefully crafting, has become my absolute favorite piece—one that reminds me of the scenery of Okinawa every time I slip it on.
