Introduction Ryukyu Costume Experience in Okinawa

Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

Step into the vibrant colors and elegant patterns of traditional Ryukyu attire and be instantly transported to the ancient kingdom. With the help of staff, adjust your garments, ensuring every detail reflects historical authenticity. Dressed in these beautiful robes, stroll through the red walls and grey tiles of the Shuri Castle—a UNESCO site—or pose in a quaint courtyard. This is a profound dialogue with Okinawa's past, captured in your most graceful posture.

Liuzhuang Strolling Shooting: Amidst vermilion pavilions of Shuri Castle Park, glide gracefully in refined Ryukyuan attire. Professional photographers capture you before Shureimon Gate and Sonohyan-utaki Stone Gate, golden hairpins swaying in ocean breezes as wide sleeves brush centuries-old steps - each frame preserving Ryukyu's elegant legacy.

 Kimono Travel Photography: At kimono studios along Kokusai Street, select Okinawa-inspired modified kimonos. Pose before the pure white torii of Naminoue Shrine or among the white structures of Senagajima Island, capturing dynamic moments where kimono hems dance with sea winds - creating fashion stories of East-West cultural fusion.

Handmade Dyeing: In 300-year-old Bingata dyeing studios, learn Okinawa's unique dye techniques from cultural inheritors. From preparing natural pigments to printing on banana fibers, personally imprint Ryukyuan patterns like phoenixes and waves onto textiles, crafting unique souvenirs that eternalize island memories in woven textures.

Nakamoto Beach

#okinawatrip Really good snorkelling beach. Only able to snorkel during low tide and you can check it with the locals.Be careful when going snorkelling as you might enter the water from the shallow end and for that I'd recommend renting boots which I didn't rent. There are lots of fish and even nemo! And lots of coral reefs. Be aware of a type of beautiful colorful fish which might attack you....

Spending Summer at Japan's Southernmost Island, Hateruma Island.

Hateruma Island, Japan's southernmost island Nishihama, with its stunning Hateruma Blue, is so beautiful that you won't get tired of it no matter how long you stay!! As the sun sets over Nishihama, on a new moon night, the sky is filled with countless stars and the beautiful Milky Way shines brightly. In winter, you can also see the Southern Cross!! A blissful island where having nothing is happiness Just spend your time doing nothing and relaxing. How to get there: You can access it by high-speed ferry from the Ishigaki Island Remote Island Terminal via An'eikanko. It takes about 60 minutes. There are three round trips per day in winter and four in summer.

Manta Rays Swimming on Land??

Kohama Island, accessible by ferry from Ishigaki Island On Kohama Island, there is an observation deck with a manta ray sculpture! This place is called 'Uminchu Park.' You can climb this observation deck and get a panoramic view of Iriomote Island. There is also a picturesque breakwater near the port that you can walk on. When touring Kohama Island, rent a bicycle or a motorbike! I rented a scooter to get around. 🛵 Be sure to visit this spot when you go to Kohama Island! 📍Uminchu Park Address: 〒907-1221 Okinawa Prefecture, Yaeyama District, Taketomi Town, Kohama Hours: Open 24 hours

The transparency is amazing! Half-day trip to Taketomi Island.

The transparency is amazing! Half-day trip to Taketomi Island.

We booked a tour with An-ei Kanko. The tour includes hotel pick-up, round-trip bus tickets within the island, and round-trip ferry tickets to Taketomi Island for 2160 yen (online reservation). It takes about 10 minutes by high-speed ferry from Ishigaki Port to Taketomi Island. We took a bus to Kaiji Beach. From Kaiji Beach, we walked to Kondoi Beach. Kondoi Beach has the most beautiful sea ✨✨ There are also toilets and water facilities available. Be careful when leaving your belongings as crows might target your food. We walked to the central part of the island where the villages are clustered. We enjoyed island banana juice and Okinawan-style zenzai at a cafe.

A Must-Visit Location from the Morning Drama: Kohama Island

I finally visited the Yaeyama Islands, specifically Kohama Island, which I had always wanted to go to. It takes about 30 minutes by regular ferry from the Euglena Ishigaki Port Remote Island Terminal. The round trip costs 2,700 yen. This island was the setting for the drama 'Churasan.' It takes about 50 steps up the stairs to reach the observation deck of Mount Ufudaki. There, you will find a monument dedicated to 'Churasan.' The view of the blue sky and sea from there is absolutely stunning. The Kohagura Residence, which was used as a filming location, is a private home, so you can only view it from the outside. The Sugar Road was used as the main character's school route. The nostalgic scenery is highly recommended☺️
