It was a perfect day to enjoy a little Blue Seal ice cream.... I had beni-imo (purple sweet potato) and Rodney had Sugar Cane. Both tasty, yet not as sweet as you'd think!
When we came off the escalator out of the cave, we meandered through an orchard and fruit stand, pottery house and glass blowing pavilion both with gift shops. You can even pay extra to do your own pottery and blow your own glass! We decided to save those for future visits.
As expected we found more put-your-face-in picture spots :-)
Then we entered the village....
It was made of traditional Japanese homes and each housed different traditional crafts, which were demonstrated and were available, for a price, to try your own hand....
We gave weaving a whirl!
My 'teacher'
Rodney's 'teacher'
We wove coasters!
In this house.....
...you can get your picture taken in traditional Japanese kimonos!
A cultural center
There's a brewery onsite that brews Habu Sake!! Yep, those are very poisonous snakes soaking in the sake!
Then we got to see some Eisa Dancers and Taiko Drummers, but, sadly, no pictures allowed :-(
As you work your way through Kingdom Village, it returns you back to the front of the park and the exit.
Yes, let's meet in Okinawa world again!!
