Ryukyu Mura — Attraction in Onna

I used to come to Ryukyu Mura as a child and it was exciting and there were many things to see and things going on. The park was small and charged ¥800 per person which at the time I thought was a bit much. Last time I came here was about 14 years ago with my sons and it wasn’t as great as it once was, but still fun. Took my wife and baby daughter there today and it was absolutely DEPRESSING. They are trying to squeeze every bit of money out of you without giving anything back in return. They had a lady plying Sanshin which was the highlight, only because everything else was decrepit. Former attractions are overgrown and moldy, their Habu section was empty, there are banana spiders hanging all over the walkways, 80% of the booths to do crafts were closed and the ones that were open were unmanned. We spent about 30 minutes in this ghetto attraction that cost us ¥1500 each now. A complete rip off and waste of time. If you visited before when it was nice, just remember it...

This is a really cool afternoon trip. It is a really cool little recreation of a village with plenty of historical areas of interest, and there is signage in English. Some of the museums in the large cities on the mainland are deficient in this, and you have to rely on guides. Not the case here.

Make sure you stay for the parade that they do. Look at the map book you are given at entry, and there will be a schedule. They muster everyone around the seats by the pond, and put on an entertaining little show. You can even take part if you are not shy. It's pretty much all in Japanese, but easy to follow and pretty fun.

I also like that they have a crafts area where, rather than just buy the same souvenirs at every tourist attraction on the island, you can be creative and personalize something like a shisa. I hadn't done pottery since I was in elementary school art class with a kiln. I made my shisa black and...
