Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 11 reviews
"GusukuBingata DyeingStudio" celebrates its 48th anniversary this year. Ryukyu Bingata is a traditional dyeing method in Okinawa that was inherited from the Ryukyu Kingdom period around 500 years ago. We wholeheartedly craft each accessory, tapestry and more as we preserve the traditional Bingata techniques while searching for new and modern tastes. We have the same concept since we first started this business, “Bingata design in every living” will add color to people’s lifestyles.

We enjoyed meeting Shingo and seeing his beautiful studio. We learned about the tradition of Bingata and he walked us through the process and helped us create beautiful pieces of art and lasting memories of our time here in Okinawa. I highly recommend his shop and look forward to going again to create more pieces.

I am visiting Okinawa for a few weeks and wanted to see some history. These ruins were also referred to as Hacksaw Ridge during the Battle of Okinawa. Be sure to go by the main building on the left to get guide material and see some historic artifacts. It was great exercise. We spent a couple of yours walking around. Needle Rock is a bit more difficult to find. You have to wind your way through a cemetery and through a gate that leads to an overgrown trail. Be careful of snakes.

Urasoe Sport Park has the largest slider in Okinawa. It is my home town as I born in Urasoe Maeda, near the Urasoe police station, and the Yui monorail stops nearby as it goes near Nishihara. That is a large park with places for kids to entertain and many shops. It is fun to ride the slider, and there is another one in naerby Ginowan city.

This ruin had a great place in the history of WWII where Desmond Doss single-handedly winched 75 men to safety from a deep cliff. Checked in at the site office and paid a minimal fee to see the tomb relics relocated to the building and a short video (available in English) about the ruins and the Ryukyu Kingdom. The staff was super helpful in pointing us to the right direction of the Hacksaw Ridge, and one could get a bit emotional if you have watched the movie. Let there be peace on earth!
