Ryukyu Mura (Japanese: 琉球村, Hepburn: Ryūkyū Mura, lit.'Ryukyu Village') is a theme park in Onna, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan.

Attractions

[edit]

Ryukyu village contains ten traditional houses from different parts of Okinawa.[1] Each was disassembled for transportation and reassembled at the park. The park staff all dress in traditional Ryukyuan attire and carry out the daily work of weaving cloth, grinding sugar cane, and Eisa dance.[2]
