Eisa is a traditional art of Okinawa and the Amami Islands that involves dance and parades combined with poetry and music to welcome back ancestral spirits during the Buddhist Bon festival. The Okinawa Zento Eisa Festival is an Eisa convention held every Bon season in Okinawa. It was founded as the "Zento Eisa Contest" held in Koza City (now Okinawa). A revival of the spirit of eisa began in 1956 during the recession. The sounds of the shamisen, the rhythms of the taiko drums, and the colorful costumes feature provide an authentic and impressive experience. The festival took on its current name in 1977 and in recent years has grown to become one of Okinawa's largest events, attracting up to 300,000 visitors and incorporating fireworks displays, laser shows, and more.

Сказочная пещера, что впечатляет своими размерами. Также в парке проводится шоу барабанщиков. Было интересно посетить музей посвящённый змеям.

It is not comparable to many zoos and amusement parks in China. The overall rural flavor is stronger, and some animals are kept in very small cages. But it also wins in the emotional value brought by the rural atmosphere. Many flowers and scenery remind people of the 1990s. In fact, it is also quite beautiful. It may be a good time travel to childhood.

American Village

When returning to the city from the Okinawa Aquarium, you will pass by this American Village. The most famous thing here is that there is an American 🇺🇸 military base. On the small building opposite the base, you can spend a few coins to peek at the equipment in the base. You can really see airplanes, armored vehicles and so on. It&rsquo;s a pity that if you are not a military fan, you can&rsquo;t tell the models apart.

There are four museums in total, and I bought a pass. The service is good, the appearance is unique, the museum content is not much, but it is complete. There are some abstract works on display in the special exhibition of the art museum, it depends on your preference.
