Enjoy Okinawan culture at Ryukyumura, where you can also enjoy events and handmade experiences!
At Ryukyumura, a sightseeing spot in Onna Village, the good old days of Okinawa are recreated and visitors can feel as if they have stepped back in time.
Visitors can learn about Okinawa’s history and culture while being soothed by the tranquil scenery and streets of olden times and the music of the Sanshin (Okinawan guitar).
Visitors can experience events and crafts while relaxing, and the powerful Eisa (Okinawan folk dance) show is a must-see attraction.
The museum also offers services that are rarely found elsewhere, such as “pets are allowed” and “location photography is allowed,” making it a sightseeing spot where visitors can feel the open-heartedness of Okinawa.
Point 1: Recreate the good old days of Okinawa! Photography is allowed!
The greatest feature of Ryukyumura is that you can taste the culture of old Okinawa.
You can see old houses with red-tile roofs, an old-fashioned sugar factory where water buffaloes work, and other scenery that you do not usually see, and the peaceful flow of time will soothe your soul.
Another attraction of Ryukyumura is that you can take pictures in such old-fashioned locations.
You can take pictures in the midst of the national and registered tangible cultural properties, or rent the place out for events.
In fact, it has been used as a filming location for TV programs and movies!
Point 2: You can also enjoy the free zone without admission fee.
In the free area called “Okinawa-no-eki Chanpuru,” you can enjoy the retro scenery of old houses with red-tile roofs mixed with a Showa-era feel.
Here you can eat Soki Soba at the restaurant and buy souvenirs that can only be purchased here!
At the experience booths, you can dress up in Ryukyu costumes and have your picture taken, or try your hand at making handmade accessories from seashells and coral.
The booths are indoors in the form of a dome, so they are safe even if it rains!
The free area alone is enough to have fun, so feel free to stop by on your way home from a drive.
Point 3: Events and handmade experience plans are available.
Ryukyumura also hosts many events, with a variety of events such as Sanshin live performances, Ryukyuan storytelling, Eisa, and acrobatic performances taking place on the stage.
Recently, events such as mystery-solving escape games and real treasure-hunting games have also been held and are gaining popularity.
There are many kinds of handmade experiences to choose from, such as Shisa, accessories, gel candles, and so on!
Let’s have a memorable handmade experience♪
