This theme park condenses the charms of Okinawa and is very popular among tourists from both inside and outside Japan. The largest limestone cave in Okinawa, Gyokusendo Cave, was created over 300,000 years ago, and it's more than one million stalactites reaffirm the mystery and grandeur of nature. In addition to Gyokusendo Cave, there are many other attractions such as "Ryukyu Kingdom Castle Town," where old houses registered as national tangible cultural properties stand side by side, and "Tropical Fruit Garden," where rare tropical fruits such as Shikuwasa and lychee are cultivated.

Visitors can observe and experience traditional Okinawan crafts such as weaving and dyeing called "Bingata" at an old private house. Traditional costume rentals are also popular, allowing visitors to stroll around the castle town area dressed in gorgeous costumes—the "Super Eisa Show," "Hub and Mongoose Show," and other popular shows.

Since Okinawa World is full of spots of interest, we recommend that you plan where to start and how to get around. Referring to the model course on the official website will help you enjoy it efficiently.

    On a hot summer day, visiting the limestone cave was actually pretty cool and refreshing.

  • 林生安

    Okinawa World has three main attractions: Gyokusendo Cave, the Folk Village, and the Habu Museum. The taiko drum performance is my top recommendation—definitely worth checking out.
