Ryukyu Mura

This guide to Ryukyu Mura on Okinawa centers on the Nakasone farmhouse, built around 1808 and moved timber by timber to this hillside when the park opened in 1982. It traces how ten farmhouses gathered from villages across the island earned protected status as cultural properties by 2007, and points out the coral limestone walls and fukugi tree windbreaks around you. Listen for the water buffalo still turning a stone press nearby, grinding raw cane into juice the old way.
