    道の駅からほど近い場所にある博物館で、道の駅にきたついでに歩いてそのまま向かいました。無料で見学することができます。展示室では道具類はもちろんのこと、画像も利用してわかりやすく展示されているので、道の駅のついでに見るにはいいです。

    Okinawa Kunigami-gun Onnason Afuso Kanera Hara 1712

    不要な電波の影響を受けないためなのかどうかよくわかりませんが、山の奥に入ったところにあります。入口の案内板は立派でしたが、たどり着くまでの道路はすこし心配になりそうな感じです。 じっくり見ても1時間程度でしょう。サクっとなら20分かな。 展示物はそんなに多くはありません。

Okinawa Areas

around-area-map

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
