This article introduces the appeal of Unko Museum OKINAWA, its main highlights, and useful information to know before your visit.
What Is Unko Museum OKINAWA Like?
Unko Museum OKINAWA is located on the 5th floor of Aeon Mall Okinawa Rycom in Kitanakagusuku Village, Nakagami District, Okinawa.
With "poop paradise" as its theme, the venue features a space inspired by Okinawa’s clear blue skies and crystal-clear ocean.
Inside, you will find more than 20 unique attractions, including cute poop-themed photo spots, POOP VOLCANO where everyone sends unko power to trigger an eruption across the venue, and Poop Throwing where you can throw poop at a wall and play.
In a space filled with the word "unko," which you do not often hear in everyday life, even adults will find it fresh and stimulating, not just kids.
A typical visit is about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on how you play and how crowded it is.
