Welcome to Cafe Ichara, a hidden gem nestled in the lush surroundings of Motobu, Okinawa. This delightful café offers an inviting escape from the bustling tourist spots, and its charm is deeply rooted in the experience it provides—both in ambiance and flavor.

At Cafe Ichara, the star of the menu is undeniably the pizza, expertly crafted to tantalize your taste buds. Customer Heather Hernandez raves about the Lotus Chicken Pizza, describing it as "delicious and very mild in flavor." It's certainly a must-try for those seeking a savory yet gentle flavor profile. Alongside this are the unique offerings like soy pizza and garlic pizza, praised by Isabella Fernandez for their fantastic taste. Each pizza is made fresh, ensuring a quality dining experience bursting with flavor.

Imagine yourself sitting outdoors, where the sounds of nature envelop you, enhancing the culinary experience with a comforting backdrop of rustling leaves and chirping birds. The café’s location within a jungle setting provides not just food, but a serene atmosphere that encourages you to relax and enjoy the moment. Gredy Seago highlights this atmosphere as "very nice," complemented by cozy touches like sleepers and blankets, making it an ideal spot to unwind after a day of exploration.

However, don’t be surprised if you find yourself wanting to visit more than once in a week, just as many delighted customers have shared. With great service as noted by various visitors, including Sunkissed Divers Okinawa, Cafe Ichara extends beyond just serving food—it crafts an entire dining experience. Remember to keep your senses open; the natural scents of the jungle are just as appealing as the delicious meals.

For those sharing a meal here, you’ll find ample seating, outdoor options, and even facilities like bathrooms for convenience. As maryellen Duren puts it, this café is not just about the food but also enjoying the peaceful, quiet atmosphere—a sheer delight for families and friends alike.

Whether you are a local or a traveler adventuring through Okinawa, Cafe Ichara promises a culinary respite that is both memorable and refreshing. Bring your appetite and let the harmonious environment enhance your experience as you savor some of the best pizza on the island.

You know this place is good when you go here twice in a week and it's an hour drive. Some of the best pizza I've had on island. I highly recommend the lotus chicken pizza. It's delicious and very mild in flavor. They accept credit card and cash and there is outdoor seating. Great service and they have a bathroom. A wonderful spot to listen to nature and jungle sounds that are often not heard in other parts of the island! This is one of my favorite restaurants on island and I highly recommend it!!

Cute little cafe off the a beaten path. Pizza is made fresh, different than what you would expect, but not bad. Very nice atmosphere in the middle of the jungle. They provide sleepers and blankets too. Can get a little busy and parking can be challenging.

Cafe Ichara is one of my favorite food places in the North. You can sit peacefully and just listen to the jungle while eating tasty pizza and having some nice drinks Please don’t be an American and respect the place by not putting too much Bath and Body works or smell on you, the food and jungle smells better than you anyway.

This place was delicious and so peaceful. It’s worth the drive and they have a good selection of pizzas. The garlic pizza comes with a maple syrup drizzle and the cheese pizza had crackers on top. Both delicious. Would highly recommend this place because it’s in the top 3 of pizza places we have had on island.

This place was peaceful and the staff was very friendly. The juices and pizza were good. The dough is thinner and doughy which I like. They were pricey for the size. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here!
