Welcome to a laid-back wonderland where traditional crafts are honored. Of the sixteen Okinawan crafts that are nationally designated, thirteen are related to weaving and dyeing. The warmth of the people, the unique culture of the land, and the stunning natural beauty of this paradise are calling you!

Beyond island living, you are busy with a plethora of hands-on activities—including a pottery session, a calligraphy class, and a three-morning dyeing workshop with a bingata master.

You stay for six nights at a waterfront hotel in Naha, the biggest city in Okinawa with a mix of modern urban vibes and deep-rooted Ryukyuan influences. Then you move north to a beachside resort in Nago to be close to nature and your next adventures.
