Okinawa - 4 recommended events in May

"Naha Harley" is held at Naha Port New Port Wharf in Naha City for three days from May 3 to May 5 every year. Harley is one of the traditional event in Okinawa. The purpose is to pray for "bountiful catch" and "sea safety."
At Naha Harley, 32 rowers work together to row a boat with a total length of 14.5 meters and a weight of 2.5 tons. From students to adults, the appearance of rowing an oar together is a masterpiece!　Nature and support are also empowered. The program includes the main request (Ugan) Barry Hon Berry, the Harley Race Competition by School, and the Harley Race Competition by Team with a wide variety of teams, including women only teams, American teams, airline teams, etc. .
In addition, programs such as music live, comedy live, and Eisa folk dance will be held on the special stage. In addition, a stall will be opened in the venue, so the stomach preparation is perfect. Among them, there are stalls such as classic goldfish scooping and darts games at festivals, so you can enjoy the feeling of a summer festival a little earlier.
And at night, fireworks are launched from the sea to the music. Why don't you get intoxicated with the beautiful production of sound and light?

The "Oku Jan Bar Koinobori Festival" is held every year for three days from May 3 to May 5 at Oku Jan Bar Village River Park in Kunigami Village, northern Okinawa Island.
At the Oku Jan Bar Koinobori Festival, there are events such as children's Eisa folk dance, folk song and dance. On a sunny day, lay a leisure sheet on the lawn and spend a calm time watching entertainment.
And at the stalls, tea of agricultural and forestry products from Kunigami Village is sold. Would you like one as a souvenir for your trip to Okinawa?

※It will not be held in 2024.

Only on Saturdays and Sundays from mid-May to late June, the "Bios Hill Night Tour" will be held at Bios Hill, a popular tourist spot in Uruma City.
The attraction of this event is that you can enjoy the nature of Okinawa at night. The main program, Night Cruise, allows you to admire the creatures that live on the water surface and trees.
Among them, the most important thing to pay attention to is fireflies!　Children will be excited and adults will be enchanted by the beautiful light of fireflies dancing in the night sky.
When you get off the boat, take a walk around the park with your guide. There are many funs unique to night tours, such as watching fireflies while listening to the sound of the wind and the screams of insects, and setting up traps to observe insects. This is an event that I would like your family to visit.
There are many opportunities to see in tourist information magazines. There are many ways to enjoy canoeing, flat boating, athletic, oversized swings, etc., and you can take a leisurely walk in the park on a buffalo car. It is a tourist spot that is loved by locals, and it may be a good idea to leave yourself to nature at night.

The annual Golden Week event "Children's Festival Adventure World" in Chatan-cho in Okinawa Prefecture will be held at Kitatani Dome. Areas that can be enjoyed by the whole family, such as dinosaur battles, the popular 30-meter-long "Huge Slider", and the "Fluffy World" will appear.
