Highlights of Okinawa

Ancient Village: Enjoy a day of culture and history that begins with a tour of Ryukyu Mura, a charming re-creation of an ancient Okinawan village where traditions dating back to the days of the Ryukyu Kingdom come to life. Immerse yourself in the living exhibits that showcase time-honored festivals, cuisine and crafts. Try your hand at local folk arts like pottery, painting and playing the sanshin guitar. Traditional Okinawan cuisine is featured in nearby food stands.

Shikinaen Garden: Recognized today as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Shikinaen Garden boasts simple wooden buildings and pavilions with tile roofs that are artfully situated among traditionally landscaped grounds, connected by manicured paths that meander over graceful stone bridges, through small forests and around a central pond.
