    Okinawa Miyakojima-shi Hirara Higashinakasonezoe 1166-287
    This museum is located south of Miyakojima Botanical Garden about a 15-minute drive from Hirara Port or about a 20-minute drive from Miyako Airport. It is notable for featuring in-depth exhibits about the nature, history, folk customs, and culture of Miyako Island. The museum is divided into two exhibit halls: the No. 1 and No. 2 exhibit hall. The No. 1 exhibit hall, which is focused on archaeology and history, presents information on archaeological sites that have been excavated such as the Hokama Site. It also features a recreation of life on Miyako Island from the Meiji period to the early Showa period. The museum also holds regular themed exhibits and special exhibits as well as hands-on educational activities for children, lectures, and other events.

    宮古島の歴史や遺物、水産や農業に関わる道具、動物や昆虫、天気や台風など知ることができます。少し寂れた感は有りますが、展示内容は興味深いものが多く、勉強になります。子供から大人まで楽しめる場所だと思います。

    4時頃にお伺いしたにもかかわらず、貝殻作りの体験をさせて頂きました。 閉店時間17時を超えたにも関わらず焦らす様なことはなく非常に親切な人達でした。 貝殻の種類は豊富でシーサーからネックレスまで幅広い貝殻アクセサリーが自分で作れます。 作り方は貝殻を選んでグルーガンでくっつけるだけです。 貝殻さえ有れば自宅でもできますが、幾分貝殻の種類が豊富なので痒いところにパーツがあり色々な物が想像次第...

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
