Savoring the salt air and the atmosphere of Ryukyu 🍹🌺

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Sipping on the salt air and Ryukyu atmosphere 🍹🌺 Steeped in history and Ryukyu culture, Naha offers a deep connection to Okinawa's traditional roots. Wander the restored grounds of Shuri Castle, once the seat of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and explore sacred sites like Gyokudōryō and Fukushūen, which reflect centuries of Chinese and Japanese influence. In areas like Tsuboya, artisans still make pottery using age-old techniques, and traditional music and dance (often performed with the iconic Sanshin instrument) bring Okinawa's heritage to life. Whether you attend a local festival or watch a performance of the classic Eisa drum, Naha invites you to step into a living tradition full of resilience and vitality. #Okinawa
