About this experience

Making full use of the roof space, huge loom-like workbenches are lined up inside the house, and artworks of the Ryukyu Dynasty are displayed. You can feel the history and culture of the ancient capital Shuri in the museum. Coral has been a source of happiness in Okinawa since ancient times, and Shuri Ryuzen creates unique works from coral fossils.
