Ryukyu Mura, located in Okinawa, is a vibrant cultural park that offers visitors a unique glimpse into the traditional lifestyle and customs of the Ryukyu Islands. This recreated village is not just a tourist attraction; it's a living museum dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich heritage of Okinawa.

As you wander through Ryukyu Mura, you'll step back in time to a carefully crafted village setting where local artisans practice and display traditional crafts such as pottery, weaving, and glass-making. Each workshop offers the chance to see these crafts in action and even participate in making your own creations, providing a hands-on experience of Okinawan culture.

The village is also alive with the sounds of traditional Ryukyu music and dance. Frequent performances, including the dynamic Eisa drum dance, bring the culture of the Ryukyu Islands to vibrant life right before your eyes. These performances are not only entertaining but also deeply immersive, offering a window into the island's ceremonial past.

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!

This is my second time here. There’s not much to do and the park is pretty small — you can see everything in less than an hour. But I still enjoyed the traditional show at the theater!

It's a Rykyu Village that takes you back in time. There Ryukyu style houses, household furnishings including a weaving machine. The iconic Nawa (Rope) from a former rope pulling contest held every year in October is on display. Please also allow time for Okinawa music and dance performances. Ryukyu Village is an hour and a half bus ride on Bus #120 at a Y1,250 one-way fare. But, in my opinion, it's well worth the effort. Okinawa's historical past is on full, magnificent display.

The best experience during my time in Okinawa was exploring Ryukyu Mura and enjoying the traditional performances in this village. The access from Naha City is quite far, but you only need to take one bus, which stops right in front of Ryukyu Mura. It’s a beautiful and serene place with very friendly locals. We heard a unique story about Kijimuna are creature of the mythology native in the village, which made the visit even more memorable. Gaining new knowledge was the most meaningful part for me.

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.
