Shurijo Castle

Experience: A great experience! Even though the weather wasn't ideal, we were able to complete the entire trip, which made me very happy and satisfied. 🥰 Instructor: Very friendly, taught and led the entire tour meticulously, and helped take many photos and videos. Extremely satisfied; I will definitely book again next time I visit Okinawa! 👍 Equipment: The equipment was safe and suitable, excellent. Safety: The instructor was incredibly attentive and led the entire tour.

it was raining in okinawa the day i took the trip (it wasn't raining during the bus ride so the staff was nice enough to keep the sunroof open) it was already raining when i got back to the bus and the staff had closed the sunroof beforehand keeping my stuff safe and dry inside!

Maria was an awesome tour guide! She was positive, friendly, and answered all my questions. I really appreciated her communication before the tour, reaching out and giving information about where to meet. There was a typhoon coming, so some parts of the castle were closed off in preparation for the storm. The castle is also under rennovation and will be completed later this year. Regardless, I enjoyed seeing the architecture and had an excellent time. Maria explained different cultural and historical contexts that I would have not known had I gone by myself. She also helped take pictures. Lastly, the royal mausoleum was interesting and it felt like a hidden location. I highly recommend taking this tour :)!

The shop is located inside Makishi Market. Take the stairs from the 1st-floor entrance to the 2nd-floor shop, and just show your reservation confirmation. You'll need to take off your shoes at the entrance and put them in a plastic bag. You'll also be given a large bag for your personal belongings (and a numbered wristband to wear). Any food or drinks should be placed separately on a small table inside the door. Please remember to keep an eye on your belongings, as I left the Chinsuko I bought at Shuri Castle in the shop and forgot to take it with me. By the time I remembered, it was the next day, and it was the shop's day off on Sunday, so I had to leave it for them (cries). This shop is very popular. I arrived on time for my reservation, and there were already at least 4 to 5 Chinese girls getting dressed or waiting in line. It took about 30 to 40 minutes for my turn. I recommend booking the earliest slot if possible to avoid waiting in line and to ensure you get to choose the outer and inner garments you want before others pick them! The staff are very friendly and helpful. Even though they were extremely busy, they patiently discussed what hairstyle you wanted and what obi (belt) style you preferred. They also helped take photos when they had a moment. The service includes hairstyling and dressing (you can choose between a kimono or Ryukyu dress), but not makeup. Two-toed socks are provided. For the Ryukyu dress, you choose the outer and inner garments separately. You change out of your own clothes in a small changing room, put on the nude-colored bodysuit provided by the shop, and then wait in line for hairstyling and dressing. You can also choose your own hair accessories. Finally, after taking all your photos and taking off the Ryukyu dress, you don't have to undo your hairstyle. The shop even gives you a small hair tie as a gift (you can choose the design). This was truly an interesting experience and highly recommended!

This is a very good experience. The company sent a coach to pick us up It is a 1/2 day activity, which is even better than a full day activity. Yes, it is less physically demanding. It is suitable for people who are bringing children or the elderly.

The space is a bit small, but there is a wide selection of clothes to choose from. It's best to decide on a color palette and how to coordinate your outfit beforehand. The staff are very quick and professional. However, the yukata I chose seemed a bit too fitted, so once it was fully dressed, it was quite uncomfortable... way too tight... I'm just not used to being tied up with so many straps! So, you really shouldn't choose a size that fits too snugly or is a stretch; it's better to go a size larger so you're comfortable and able to move around easily. We took a taxi to Naminoue Shrine (which is also quite small) to take some photos, then took photos back in the hotel lobby, and finally went back to return the clothes.

It was a fantastic experience, driving go-karts at full speed through Kokusai Street and Senaga Island. Even though only two of us participated that day, our guide was very enthusiastic and constantly helped us take photos. I'd love to do it again next time I visit Okinawa! ^o^

A fantastic Ryukyu costume experience! Experience: What makes this shop special is that it offers lace accessories (headpieces, inner linings, etc., which you can choose yourself). If you love lace pairings, this is a great place to try it out! The staff, including the shop owner, will personally help each customer coordinate their kimono. First, you choose your favorite color, then the staff will adjust it based on your height and the chosen color. If you prefer a more traditional Ryukyuan style, you can also ask the staff to help you with a custom coordination. Hair styling and a variety of hair accessories are also available. The latest you can return the outfits is 9 PM. Whether you enter at noon or in the evening, you just need to return them by 9 PM, which is very flexible. Safety: You don't need to take off your original clothes when wearing the kimono, which is very convenient. We recommend wearing a light, long skirt underneath, otherwise it might feel too stuffy. Valuables can be stored securely in the shop. Location: The shop is located in an alley near the First Makishi Public Market, making it easily accessible. After changing into your kimono, you can immediately explore Kokusai Street or take a taxi (about a 10-minute ride, around 1000 JPY) to visit Naminoue Shrine. We highly recommend taking photos at the coastal park and beach near Naminoue Shrine. This experience was wonderful! The shop is conveniently located, and the staff are enthusiastic and professional. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to create lasting memories in Ryukyu costumes in Okinawa!

So much fun!!! I highly recommend adding this to your Okinawa itinerary. The kids had such a great time they didn't want to leave! It's located inside a department store, so you can go shopping right after. Buying tickets on Klook was super convenient; just scan the QR code to enter. Highly recommend!
