The 1st original Karate / Kobudo museum in the world. The Okinawa prefecture Karate Kobudo museum is situated on the 2nd floor, above the Hokama Karate Dojo (International Kenshikai HQ). This is a fully working Dojo, with weekly classes for local students and private lessons for visitors (Y3,000 by request). Many people visit the museum while training is taking place down stairs and this creates a fantastic atmosphere. Hokama Sensei is a 10th Dan Karate Hanshi (Goju Ryu) and 10th Dan Kobudo Hanshi (Matayoshi Kobudo). Now 75 years old, he has been training since he was 7 years old! As well as being a world class martial arts master, he is recognised by the Japanese government as a historian. He has written over 30 books on martial arts history. He is also a master of Shodo - the art of Japanese calligraphy. Custom Shodo is available during your visit. Mr Hokama will write anything you like i.e. name of your Dojo, childs name etc. on wood or paper. You can either bring your own item, or purchase at the museum.

I really appreciated the availability of the iPad tour and used it to learn more about the items on display and the culture and processes of pottery making. It made a good facility a great experience.

The Yanbaru Wildlife Center aims to promote awareness and understanding of wildlife conservation among visitors to Yanbaru. It also acts as a research base and undertakes projects to protect and breed endangered wildlife such as the Okinawa woodpecker and Okinawa rail birds. The exhibition here was given a full renovation, and following its reopening in 2010, it was given the nickname Ufugi Nature Museum. (Ufugi means "large tree" in the local dialect)

This museum is very meaningful, and the video they show brought me to tears. The museum staff can provide a brochure in English if you ask for one, which helps to understand the general story the museum seeks us to remember. There are also limited English signs that translations done by a group of 9th-grade students. They did a great job.
