What other travelers are saying about Ryukyu Mura (Ryukyu Village)
A taste of Okinawa Culture. What a treat! First time in Okinawa and wanted to learn about the culture in a compressed amount if time. From the music to learning about their every day lives to seeing a water buffalo, and sampling fresh made sugar cane juice and Awanori, this was a tremendous experience. Highly recommend!
It was an enjoyable experience to watch the Okinawan music performance. The costumes and playing were very good. I thought it was so fun that they invited the audience to dance together at the end. Although the day we visited some attractions were closed (the snake area). The staff were friendly and we enjoyed some snacks such as Okinawa rolled pancakes and sugarcane juice. We also tried blow darts which was a first time for all of us. I think it’s a fun place to visit if you’re in the area.
You could reserve your tickets using half of the price than purchasing them at the spot.
Overall speaking this is definitely not one of those must-visit tourist places as it was just a small park with several activity corners which were quite boring to be honest.
You could finish the whole thing in around an hour.
The park provides a lovely experience for both young and old alike. 🎌🎎
The traditional song and dance performances were realized with passion and it brought us back to the time of the Ryokyo Kingdom.
They should probably focus on expanding the range of experiences available.
This is an expansive, elaborate and well appointed recreated village from Okinawa history. Okinawan people are ethnically different than Japanese but their island became part of the Japanese Empire in 1879 and they consider themselves to be Japanese nationals. This village includes cultural dancing and music, authentic village homes and facilities and traditional red tile roofs. Modern facilities, shopping and local vendors in a flea market style pavilion. Ice cream and pet the water buffalo for the kids. Don't miss this stop. Two hours is about right. Thanks to our wonderful tour guide Aki! (Akimiso)
