This time experiencing Ryukyu clothing in Okinawa was absolutely fantastic! The staff were very kind, helping to select suitable styles and colors, and carefully helped with taking photos. The quality of the clothing was very good, with details full of traditional characteristics, and wearing it immediately immersed me in the Ryukyu atmosphere. The photo location was beautiful, and every photo turned out gorgeous! The whole experience was relaxing and enjoyable, highly recommended for friends who want to experience Okinawan culture, definitely worth visiting again!

The staff were all very friendly, a wonderful experience! They were so gentle tying up my hair, didn't pull at it at all, and tied it very tightly so it didn't come loose! They offered wooden clogs and small bags, but we didn't change into them because we were going to be walking. At the end, they even gave us a small Okinawan gift, and we chose the hair tie~

I had a really good experience, even though the weather wasn’t ideal and we didn’t get the sunset shot, the photos still turned out beautifully.
Hiro, the photographer, was friendly and spoke English well, which made communication easy. He also shared great recommendations for things to do and places to eat in Naha. Overall, a pleasant and worthwhile experience.

This was such a special and meaningful experience! I love the concept of embracing flaws and turning them into beauty, and was excited to find this simplified Kintsugi experience. The ladies were very helpful in taking us through each step, and I went home with a beautiful hand-made work of art. Highly recommend!

The experience was a 10/10. I wish the workshop had included a bit more about the history of Shisa and Okinawan culture, but I'm not complaining. The staff was very friendly and provided us with all the materials and protection needed to avoid damaging our clothes.

Buy on the spot and activate immediately! Very convenient. The one-day pass with unlimited rides is very convenient. 2. Consider whether the places you want to visit are near the light rail station for more convenience. If you take the bus more often and travel further, consider a one-day bus pass, which can be purchased at the visitor center (bus terminal). 3. If you have a Suica card installed on your Apple phone, you must show the ticket to the station staff directly. Direct scanning may cause card issues.

So much fun! Make sure to wear long sleeves, long pants, and closed-toe shoes. The staff provides a very detailed explanation before the activity and pays close attention to everyone's safety during the rafting. After reaching the finish line and getting ashore, there are hot showers available, and you can even grab a zongzi to satisfy your hunger.
Highly recommend white water rafting when you visit Hualien!
