Top 10 Favourite Places to Visit in Okinawa
- Murasaki Mura (Not the most vibrant but full of hands-on experiences related to Ryukyuan culture)
- Tsuboya Yachimun Street (I love pottery! Authentic Ryukyuan craft culture)
- Ryukyu Mura (Cultural performances, Ryukyuan food, local crafting experiences, historical knowledge)
- Kokusai-dori (lots of shopping, local and international food places, street energy, live performances on Saturdays)
- Okinawa Fruits Land (RPG-style environment; feel like a kid again, completing quests while learning about fruits)
- Nago Pineapple Park (agricultural identity of Okinawa, quirky, immersive and very vibrant; the theme park’s song can be as annoying as the Don Quijote song)
- Karate Kaikan (hands-on karate experiences, historical knowledge)
- Okinawa Prefectural Museum and Art Museum (A great place to learn about Okinawa’s extensive history; this place is easily accessible too; learn about Okinawa’s art history and appreciate works by various Okinawan artists)
- Ocean Expo Park (Tropical Dream Centre and Native Okinawa Village were really fun; learn to play the sanshin at the village; the Tropical Dream Centre has so many plants and fruits to behold)
- Churaumi Aquarium (How can anyone not love sea creatures! I absolutely love sea creatures! Also, Jinbei, the whale shark, is a sight to behold! The kuroshio tank is huge!)
