About Ryukyu Glass Village
Ryukyu Glass Village in Itoman is a facility where visitors can observe the traditional Okinawan craft of Ryukyu glass-making up close. Children will watch master craftsmen blow glass right before their eyes, tour the colorful glass exhibits, and explore the facility. The craft activity for this trip is photo frame making — each child creates their very own original piece to take home.
About Shuri Castle Park
Shuri Castle Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was once the political and cultural heart of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Walking along the vermillion castle walls and stone-paved paths, visitors can feel the history of Ryukyu. With a stamp rally sheet in hand, children discover the highlights of Shuri Castle while having fun.
