    沖縄旅行では、ジェルキャンドルを作るのがお決まりになっているのですが、ホテルになかったので調べてこちらへ訪問しました。 広い敷地内に、様々な工房が点在しています。ジェルキャンドルの体験では、優しいおばさまが6才の子にも分かりやすく、丁寧に教えてくださいました。 次の旅行でもまた伺いたいと思います。

    Okinawa Miyakojima-shi Ueno Shinzato 1214
    This pottery is located along Prefectural Route 235 across from Shigira Bay Country Club on southern Miyako Island. It is attached to the sundries shop Nangoku Zakka Tida, which sells original merchandise such as their Miyakojima Beach T-shirts, and to the cafe Shima Cafe Tonkaraya, which serves lunches featuring Miyako beef and pork. Its works, which are all made with local clay and local glazes, are an original take on arayachi (unglazed Tsuboya ware). They are best known for their cheerful smiling shisa figurines. Visitors can enjoy hands-on activities such as shisa making and candle making. All activities require a reservation made at least one day in advance.

    Okinawa Miyakojima-shi Hirara Matsubara 1135-6
    This pottery shop located along National Route 390 about a 10-minute drive from Miyako Airport makes and sells pottery. As the name suggests, it primarily makes and sells earthenware shisa figurines. It uses materials that can be sourced on the island such as clay, wood, and coral. Their works are notable for a style that is not restricted by the conventional appearance of shisa. The shop even offers made-to-order items. It also offers popular shisa-making classes. We recommend making reservations during the busy season, as the classes are liable to fill up.

Okinawa Areas

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.
