Ryukyu Glass Village ( Ryukyu glass mura )
One of the largest Ryukyu Glass studios in Okinawa Prefecture. Various facilities related to Ryukyu glass are set up.
Ryukyu glass is one of the traditional crafts of Okinawa Prefecture. Originally, it was a recycled glass product that began to be made by reusing waste bottles in the postwar period when resources were scarce. Some workshops still use waste bottles today.
At the Ryukyu Glass Village factory, visitors can watch Ryukyu glass being made.
Workshops are also held where visitors can try their hand at glass making and photo frame making.
In addition, there is a glass store selling souvenirs, a restaurant, and a gallery.
Depending on the time of year, various glass-related events may be held.
