Okinawa Prefecture Cultural experiences

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.

I booked from Okinawa Pass 2 activities for 76aud, (Coral dyeing and Snorkeling) instructor:clear instructions and easy to follow. You can choose what you want to pain is on the options. experience:taking ~1hr equipment: many coral and marble stands to use. location: can walk from Shuri Castle

This was a wonderful activity to do when you need a change from the usual tourist activities, plus a unique momento to take home. It was slow paced which is what kintsugi is all about. Thw ladies helped improve my attempt and it was a delightful afternoon all round

It was a unique experience. I was the only customer and was given close guidance in making the necklace. Although the staff could not really speak English, there was an instruction sheet in English and she tried her best to communicate with me. I was also served a cup of tea and cookie at the end of the workshop.

I was recommended this experience by a nice lady in Osaka and I couldn't thank her enough. I had so much fun painting my Shisa to my liking. I just would have liked to get a bit of history about Shisas even as a printout. The staff was very nice and accommodating.

What a pleasure to meet Our guide: Taiji Yamakawa! My son and I took a bucket list trip to Okinawa and wanted to learn more about the Kendo martial art. This Kendo experience was very informative, intimate, and great exercise too! Our guide explained to us the practices of Kendo and the importance of respect and to be passionate with the movements and sounds. We were fitted with our Dogi and Hakama (Kendo upper and lower garments) and taught step by step basic moves, stances, parts of our equipment, and how to use the Shinai (bamboo sword) If you are not Japanese speaking, it would be hepful to bring a translator tool to ask more in depth questions. We have gained so much respect for this martial art and the skill and discipline it takes. This IS a very physical activity, so stay hydrated and prepare to sweat! Next, it was time to battle each other and put all the moves together! Thank you for such a memorable experience Taiji! We look forward to hearing about your championships!

I created my own custom perfume, and the shop even made a personalized label for my unique bottle! It was a super creative experience that satisfied my love for fragrance. Thanks to the handsome shop owner for his patient service.
