Things to do in Makishi Public Market

I highly recommend this place to everyone! My plans changed, and I apologize for the inconvenience, but the aunties were so enthusiastic in helping me. Even though their English wasn't perfect, they tried their best to communicate using a translator. They were even worried my subsequent plans would be affected 😭😭. In the end, they helped me change the time. It was pouring rain that day, and they even put my shoes under the air conditioner to dry them! They were so diligent, thoughtful, and provided so much emotional support. They proactively offered to take photos for me and even gave me a small gift. I was truly and happily touched by their kindness. I hope more people get to know them 💗

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!

There's no need to buy the direct entry QR code; there wasn't much of a line. Inside, there are many animal interaction activities you can purchase, but make sure to buy tickets at the vending machines by the entrance! Although it's called an aquarium, it's more like a zoo. It's not very big but it's quite interesting, and you can get very close to the animals. The crowd was moderate, and it's conveniently connected to a mall and outlet, making it perfect for a day trip!

You need to buy tickets the day before. Exchanging tickets was easy. We arrived at 10 AM. No water or drinks are allowed inside. There are lockers available to store bags for 100 Japanese Yen per use, and you can get your coin back. If you don't have change, you can exchange money at the counter. The facility is divided into about seven major zones, each with a theme. It was a bit dark when we first entered, but the kids weren't afraid once they started playing. It's highly interactive with many ways to play. We happened to meet a Japanese staff member who spoke Chinese and gave us a very detailed introduction, so we got to enjoy many of the intricate details. The kids played inside for two hours.

Coming from Hong Kong, it rained heavily the night before, and I was worried. I WhatsApped the owner, and he was very kind, telling us to come anyway and see what the weather was like when we arrived. We participated in the 90-minute session, and both my husband and my friend's husband said they had a great time and really enjoyed it, especially the part at Senaga Island. There were only two participants that day, but the instructor was excellent, attentive, polite, and took great care of the students. It's definitely worth doing when you visit Okinawa. Before we left, each of us received a commemorative photo. I initially thought I had left something behind and WhatsApped the owner, and he was very helpful and kind.

Location: The room was nice and beautifully decorated. Activity: Very fun, used coral to paint beautiful shirts. Equipment: Good equipment, with a variety of stencils. Safety: Very safe. Instructor: Good and easy to understand.

Good experience, hassle free and pre book via Klook, price is cheaper and don't need to worry about ticket sold out for the time slot you preferred. overall very good experience about the tour, very safety and feel enjoyable. can see underground fish and feeding fish scene on the boat .

It was a really beautiful and stunning experience!! The water is cristal clear and you could see different fishes, corals and even seaturtles! The safety introduction on the boat was quite short, but in the water the tour guides took really good care of everyone and reminded us to not touch the seaturtles and fishes so we wouldn‘t bother them. We can definitely recommend!

A hairstyle is a must-have! It's the essence of your overall look. The stylists will use curling irons to style your hair, and you can choose your preferred style from the examples in the salon. Even if you don't have long hair, it can still be styled beautifully!
