Okinawa World

Since we are inviting them to Okinawa,
I can't have a half-baked wedding. So I will do it my way!

Yes! We reserved the whole Okinawa World!

There’s no restriction for the wedding to enjoy Okinawa fully.

Okinawa World is a popular sightseeing spot during the day.

We’ll reserve the whole park at night just for our wedding.

We’ll all meet at the bus terminal near the Kokusai-Dori around dusk.

Like a field trip in the old days, there’s a sign on the bus with our group’s name.

However, it’s still a secret for the guests that we are heading to Okinawa World.

“Hey, how old do you think we are? I’ve never heard of a wedding saying, ‘You’ll see when you ride the bus!'”

There are many friends and acquaintances on the bus.

People begin to say hello to each other and talk about how they are doing, and some people even start to sing.

What a quick 30 minutes.

Then the bus stops. In front of Okinawa World, a little before the closing time.

“Hey, didn’t we come at the wrong time?!” Someone shouts.

No, it’s the start of OUR time.

At night time, the park opens.

The staff members are wearing gorgeous national costumes of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

And they welcome us. “Please enjoy your free time for an hour.”

Look, there’s a limestone cave walk, Okinawa traditional dance, and Habu Snake Show!

There are many places to look around in this whole reserved park.

Everyone meets again at the appointed time.

We’ll hold our wedding ceremony here,

in the Ryukyu Kingdom’s castle town with rows of houses with beautiful red roof tiles.

It’s the time we all can become one.

An intimate time. Many Okinawan food dishes made by Okinawan grandmas are on the table.

Drinks are not neatly set. Habuball, a habu snake liquor, is there in a drink-all-you-want style.

Then, you’ll hear the sound of Sanshin and finger whistles.

The Eisa dance starts, and the circle of Kachashi expands.

The Okinawan-style wedding will lighten up the night of Okinawa World.
