Okinawa｜Visit the traditional Ryukyu houses in Wangguo Village, Ryukyu glass DIY, and the world's longest snake

In Okinawa World Kingdom Village, in addition to Gyokusen Cave, there are actually more exciting activities. Among them, I think the wonderful traditional dance performances, drums and lion dances combined with glass culture, are a pity that you can't take pictures. But there are many places to play in the entire park. 🕹️Handmade Ryukyu Glass Experience: In the late Meiji era, glass craftsmanship came from Satsuma Domain. At that time, due to the lack of materials, discarded glass was recycled, resulting in bubbles and irregular colors. The concept of renewable energy was implemented in Okinawa as early as possible. Sign up for DIY activities, you can participate in making cups and other supplies, and then pay to send the finished products back home. It doesn't matter if you don't have time, you can also buy beautiful Ryukyu glass products in the store next door. 🕹️Ryukyu Village: Houses that can adapt to heat, high humidity, frequent earthquakes and typhoons are not difficult from a modern architectural perspective, but in traditional houses, you can glimpse the wisdom of the ancients. The double-layer red tile roof and extended eaves can prevent excessive sunlight from causing the house to become hot, and the wooden beams and columns are raised to allow heat to rise and circulate through the patio. The old houses moved from all over Okinawa have now become castle towns, shops, indigo dyeing, leather making and other DIY activity venues, inheriting the glass culture. 🕹️ Nandu Brewery: Okinawa's famous Habu snake wine is made from venomous snake extracts and 13 spices. Along the way, you will pass by a modern factory and see the real Habu snake in the barrel. In order to increase the artistic value of the collection, there are also kimono bottles. The snake wine is wrapped in a kimono-dressed bottle, which is also beautiful as a decoration. 🕹️ If you have a strong heart, the last stop is the snake museum: here, the skeleton specimens of the world's largest snake are displayed, as well as reptiles and bats, and you can pay to interact with snakes and take photos. In general, this place embodies the beautification of Ryukyu and "non-daily experience". If you participate in all the DIY activities, it is definitely not a problem to play for a whole day. 📍Address: Maekawa-1336 Tamagusuku, Nanjo, Okinawa 901-0616 Japan 🚗Take bus No. 54 or 83 from Naha Bus Terminal and get off in front of Gyokusen-do. #5月好去处2025
