The Ryukyu Kingdom has flourished its own history, culture, and beliefs while incorporating the cultures of various countries. The tour will touch on the history, culture, and beliefs of the royal family that was at the center of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and then gradually shift its focus from the lives of the common people of the time to the lives of the people of Okinawa today. Please enjoy the time travel from the Ryukyu Kingdom to the present day through the tour.
●Tama-udun mausoleum
Tama-udun mausoleum is a mysterious mausoleum where the royal family of the Ryukyu Kingdom rests. It is one of the places where one can deeply experience Okinawa's spiritual culture and belief, and the "connection" with people that Okinawans value. Although it is located in the town of Naha, you will feel a pleasant silence when you step inside. It has been designated as a National Important Cultural Property and was registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site as " Gusuku Sites and Related Properties of the Kingdom of Ryukyu " in 2000.
●The Shurijo Castle
The "Shurei no Kokoro", which began in the days of the Ryukyu Kingdom and is still passed down to the Okinawan people, is also directed toward ancestors and nature, not only for people. Please feel the "connection" between people and them.
●Kinjo-cho Stone Paved Path
You will take a slow stroll with a guide along the Ryukyu limestone stone-paved paths that give the atmosphere of a castle town from the Ryukyu Kingdom period, which was developed from Shurijo Castle to south. Walking along while listening to about the people of the time and the folktale that are still told today, you will feel as if time is moving slowly from the Ryukyu Kingdom period to the present day. Please use all five senses to fully experience the unchanged beliefs and human connections even as times change, the familiar island vegetables essential for good health and longevity, and the lifestyle of the Okinawan people.
●Lunch
You can taste home-style dishes prepared with island vegetables and cooking methods that are Okinawa's secret to health and longevity. Enjoy the unique subtropical flavors that will touch your tired body after walking. If you do not plan to drive on the day of the tour, we recommend enjoying your meal with Awamori, Okinawan traditional distilled alcohol beverage, a favorite drink of the locals.
