Okinawa World Culture Kingdom is a large theme park in Okinawa where you can experience Ryukyu culture. It mainly features attractions such as the Gyokusen Cave, Kingdom Village, and Viper Museum Park. Visitors can learn about Okinawa's history, culture, and nature, and participate in a variety of hands-on activities. Gyokusendo Cave is a massive natural stalactite cave formed over a long history of 300,000 years. Containing over one million stalactites, it is one of Japan's largest stalactite formations, creating a bizarre landscape. In "Kingdom Village," the castle town of the Ryukyu Kingdom, four old houses recognized as national cultural properties have been relocated. Here, you can enjoy more than 10 cultural experiences, including weaving, printing, dyeing, and Ryukyu glassmaking. At "Viper Museum Park," you can learn about the ecological environment of the rice spoon snake and visit various reptiles. Viper's performances using rice spoon coins are held daily, and their funny and unique content can't help but bring a smile to people's faces. The trainer's humorous commentary might even make you feel a little sorry for the fearsome Snake Snake. Performances are held daily at 11:00, 12:00, 14:00, 15:30, and 16:30, with each performance lasting approximately 20 minutes. The must-see large-scale festival parade performance, "Eisa Drum Dance," takes place four times a day at 10:30, 12:30, 14:30, and 16:00 at Eisa Plaza. It lasts approximately 25 minutes. Shouts are accompanied by drums, and the action culminates in traditional theatrical and lion dance performances.

American Village is a coastal shopping and entertainment district themed after the American West Coast. It was developed on reclaimed land from a former US military airfield. In the early years, it gradually attracted American-style shops and restaurants to meet the needs of US military personnel and their families. Today, with its streets full of graffiti murals, neon signs, and vibrant retro architecture, it has become a destination for shopping and ocean views in central Okinawa. The bustling heart of the district is Depot Island, where colorful buildings, palm trees, and coastal boardwalks connect, providing photo opportunities everywhere. Nearby, American Depot is famous for its vintage clothing, military surplus, and imported goods, making it perfect for browsing. Dining options also have a strong American flair, with taco rice, burgers, steaks, and Blue Seal ice cream—which originated at local US military bases—all available. Entertainment facilities like cinemas and game centers are also interspersed throughout. Around dusk is an especially charming time for this district. Chatan Park, located on one side, features Chatan Park Sunset Beach, which faces the west coast and is a popular spot for watching the sunset; in summer, you can even swim there. After nightfall, the neon lights and decorations gradually light up, presenting two different atmospheres between day and night. It is worth noting that the large Ferris wheel that once appeared in many promotional photos has been dismantled, so there is no need to look for it.

Okinawa World was a pleasant surprise, with Gyokusendo Cave being the main highlight of the visit. The cave is huge and really impressive, with beautiful stalactites and stalagmites throughout the walking route. The underground scenery feels quite different from the usual Okinawa attractions, and the cool temperature inside the cave was a nice break from the heat outside.The cave is well maintained, with a proper walking path and lighting that makes it easy to appreciate the different formations. There are also some beautiful sections with underground water and colourful lighting. The walk itself takes around 30–45 minutes depending on your pace and how many photos you take, but I would recommend allowing more time to explore the rest of Okinawa World.For the entrance fee, I think it offers good value for money, especially because the ticket gives you more than just access to the cave.

I like the castle. The ancient buildings and the stone to build up the castle. The pillars with hand crafted design were amazing. The weather is hot actually and not much shade. To bring an umbrella will be good.

It was a very interesting experience. Although the visibility in the sea was second to last, we could still see the small fish very clearly, which allowed my teammate, who can't snorkel, to see the underwater world. Thumbs up to the skinny, small guy leading the group; he was so nice and always smiling.

I recommend spending at least a full half day here. There are many to see and do besides the cave. But the cave definitely is a must visit. Addtionally there is a cultural village, habu museum, habu show, cultural dance, craft village, a small zoo withbsome animals sich as bats, tortoise, habu, etc. It is really worth visiting.

Its eye-catching symbol is the large Ferris wheel with a diameter of about 50 meters. The American Village has entertainment facilities mainly based on 3D images, an 8-screen movie theater, a shopping mall, a bowling alley, an American restaurant, a recording studio, an entertainment center, an imported grocery store, etc., and there are also complex facilities for sports.
