What other travelers are saying about Okinawa Prefectural Museum & Art Museum
My family visited this museum to learn about Okinawan culture. It was very informative, inclusive and overall educational. It is dense so you can see a lot without getting exhausted by exhibits. The museum covers folk history, war and postwar, and modern day Okinawa.
I would definitely recommend a visit, especially on a rainy day!
Okinawa Prefectural Museum is a lovely museum! Admission fee is required and for visitors who are interested in visiting the Art Museum, a separate admission fee will be charged.
The museum is not big and consists of one level but is very informative. It was an enjoyable visit and all the displays in the museum were very well done! The museum was very clean, organized, and quiet. A dinosaur fossil can be seen at the entrance of the museum. There is also a souvenir shop and a good place to buy gifts & local arts & crafts items.
The city hall is a very interesting building in the city of Naha. In addition to essential public services, a city hall has a permanent exhibition museum and other activities. has a roadmap to complete your postcard in 5 steps.
I’m shocked that there is a line queueing up for buying admission tickets. Japanese are so fond of queuing up lol. The exhibition is good. You can tell Okinawa was totally rural island even in the early 1950s.
Small and cozy museum but you can learn and enjoy it a lot. I recommend visiting this place first to learn about Okinawa’s history before having a tour of the Island.
The History about learning the Kingdom of Ryuku is really insightful and can take over 1h to learn.
Also, I recommend installing the free audio guide apps called “On The Trip” which is really useful with provided in multiple languages.
Temporary exhibitions might be changed regularly. You better check if you're interested in what they do when you visit.
