What other travelers are saying about Ryukyu Mura (Ryukyu Village)
Very Good experience to learn Okinawa history via dancing, singing shows; local cuisines in budget prices; 6 wine tasting for just ¥1000 (including 3 award winning wine) ; local tea and traditional snack tasting; butterfly and other animal farm。 Saw local secondary school students visiting there.
A memorable place to experience Okinawan culture firsthand. You can explore traditional village houses and enjoy the energetic Eisa drum dance performances, a great spot to immerse yourself in the island’s heritage.
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!
I was hoping to learn more about Okinawan culture in Okinawa. This was really the only place we found that seemed to show that culture. Yes it's a tourist attraction, but could also be called a historical village. Something like Williamsburg in Virginia or Greenfield Village in Michigan. Staff was very welcoming and generous with sharing about the culture.
