Okinawa World Tours and Tickets

No need to buy separate admission tickets; visitors can receive bundled admission to the three main attractions with a one-day pass. Children receive a 50 percent discount on standard admission tickets—an appealing deal for big families.

Contact Okinawa World to make a reservation to participate in a crafts workshop, including pottery, glass-blowing, bingata, weaving, leatherwork, or paper-making.

In summer, Okinawa World offers guided spelunking tours into stalactite and stalagmite-filled Gyokusendo Cave, Japan’s second-longest cave—prior reservations are required.

Want to visit Gyokusendo Cave on your own? No guide is needed to access the main section of the caves, which is open to the public—you’ll find a comfortable and well-lit walking path. It takes around 30-45 minutes to complete the entire loop.

Okinawa World boasts a huge shopping center with souvenirs, local drinks, and snacks. A tax exemption is available for larger purchases above a minimum spending amount.

Count on spending anywhere from an hour to a half day exploring Okinawa World, depending on how many attractions you cover and if you plan on participating in a crafts workshop or catching a live Eisa dance performance.
