Okinawa World is a cultural theme park located in Nanjo City, in the southern part of Okinawa’s main island. It combines nature, history, and culture, making it one of the island’s most popular attractions. The highlight of the park is Gyokusendo Cave, a limestone cave formed over 300,000 years ago. Stretching for about three kilometers, with 900 meters open to visitors, its magnificent stalactites and stalagmites have earned it the name “Underground Palace.”
Beyond the cave, visitors can explore the Kingdom Village, a recreation of traditional Ryukyu homes where they can experience crafts such as Ryukyu glass-making, bingata dyeing, and pottery. The park also features the Habu Snake Museum, showcasing Okinawa’s native habu snakes and live performances. In addition, visitors can enjoy exciting Eisa drum shows, tour the local Okinawa beer brewery, and savor regional foods.
Okinawa World is not only perfect for family trips but also an ideal place to experience both the cultural heritage of the Ryukyu Kingdom and the natural beauty of Okinawa.
