It is carefully wrapped in a Ryukyu bingata wrapping cloth with a large peony on a noble yellow background and stored in a wooden box.

Immerse yourself in activities that take advantage of the local nature and culture

During your stay, you will experience Bingata, a traditional Okinawan craft.
In addition to traditional motifs, original paper patterns with flowers and greenery are used to create tapestries.
Apply bold colors while considering the rules and balance of the color scheme.

Refresh yourself through time to face yourself

The next morning after immersing yourself in Ryukyu Bingata, you will take a deep breath of the sound of waves on the beach in front of Hoshinoya Okinawa.
Surrounded by the calm sound of waves and sea breeze before dawn, you can slowly awaken your body by stretching while listening to the sound of the waves.
