那霸國際通漫遊 沖繩Kokusai-dori | 日本街頭巷尾Japan City Walkie

國際通最早建成於1933年，是當時連接原那霸市中心至首里市的最短路線，當地人慣稱「新縣道」。此路甫建成之時，周圍人煙稀少。1944年沖繩島戰役之後，美國軍事佔領琉球群島。駐日美軍在這條路旁建立了「恩尼·派爾國際劇場」，當地逐漸繁榮，路名也隨着國際劇場而得名「國際通」。沖繩人也紛紛來到這裏經商，百貨、商場等拔地而起，國際通成為那霸最繁華的地段，被人稱為「奇跡的一英里」（奇跡の1マイル）。

International Pass was first built in 1933. At that time, it was the shortest route connecting the former city center of Naha to Shuli City. The local people used to call it "Xinxian Road". When this road was built, there were few people around. After the Battle of Okinawa in 1944, the United States occupied the Ryukyu Islands. The U.S. military in Japan established the "Enny Pyle International Theater" next to this road. The local area gradually prospered, and the road name was also named "International Pass" with the International Theater. Okinawans also came here to do business, and department stores, shopping malls, etc. rose up. International communication became the most prosperous area in Naha, which is known as the "Miracle Mile" (Miracle of 1マイル).
