What other travelers are saying about Ryukyu Mura (Ryukyu Village)
Spend around 2 hours here with my parents exploring. There is definitely some upkeep that could be made, but it was still a fun experience to see how people lived back then and get to know the culture through the shows. You can also do lots of crafts which are great for souvenirs, try traditional tea and more.
This isn't a must do for tourists, it's definitely more geared for locals and their families.
I think the grounds have seen better days. The wood homes are in need of some maintenance. It would have been something special when they were brought to this site in 1982...but time has had its effect on things as it does.
There's cultural shows on the hours and they are all well and good.
It's really a quick walk through if you don't watch one of the shows - might take 20 minutes if you look at everything once.
At 1100¥ per person it's not inexpensive for that short of a walk, but I can appreciate that it takes a team to make this place do what it's doing.
We went because we stayed nearby and had the time but honestly there's more impressive things to see in Okinawa.
Butterfly landed in my hand in there - that was nice.
A beautful village that has been preserved as practically an open air museum. Highly recommend watching the show they have on with an amazing band and dancers. Also all the workers were excellent and provided facts about the place. The okinawan ice cream was delicious. Loved spotting all the shesas everywhere too!
Good place ! It is very chill and peaceful ! You can find old house and show ! I recommend the 12am show in the big theater, it is the best one.
Overall we spent 2 hours max.
Small cons, I was a bit sad for the Buffalo who has no space, grass and cannot rest.
nice place for cultural performance. there's one every hour or so at different venues.
there's some great local snacks here as well (okinawa donut and pohpoh).
half a day or less here is more than enough
