10 of 50 in Okinawa Island

Ryukyu Mura (Ryukyu Village, 琉球村) is a captivating cultural theme park that immerses visitors in the vibrant history of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Designed to resemble a traditional Okinawan village, it showcases authentic features such as red-tiled rooftops, stone walls, and serene shrines, offering a glimpse into the island’s rich cultural heritage. Visitors can stroll through the village, enjoying the picturesque architecture and tranquil surroundings, while also experiencing the vibrant energy of live Eisa taiko drum performances and colorful cultural parades. These lively events bring the village to life, offering an exciting contrast to the peaceful ambiance of the area.

Beyond its beautiful setting, Ryukyu Mura provides visitors with the opportunity to actively engage in Okinawan culture through hands-on workshops. You can paint a shisa lion statue, try your hand at weaving a coaster, play the sanshin (Okinawan guitar), or even craft your own pottery. These interactive experiences allow guests to not only learn about the island's traditions but also actively participate in them. To complete the experience, the park offers a variety of delicious Okinawan dishes at its on-site restaurants, as well as unique handmade souvenirs that reflect the island's rich craftsmanship.
