Okinawa - 4 recommended events in December

NAHA Marathon, an event recommended for sports lovers!　This event starts Ounoyama Park and runs around Heiwakinen Park in Naha City, Haebaru Town, Yaese Town, Itoman City and Tomigusuku City. It is now a sporting event that represents not only Okinawa but also Japan, and many runners from outside the prefecture and overseas gather.

Of course, there are a lot of fun in the event itself. Until now, artists and popular actors from Okinawa Prefecture have been appointed as starters, and in the past, athletes who have participated in the Olympics have been appointed as guest runners. There are also songs, performances and dances by children's Eisa folk dance and band artists around the course.

In addition, in the support performed along the roadside, you can see that Okinawa's unique food is being offered. You can see cold water, sports drinks, rice balls that can be eaten with one hand, etc. from the supporters to the runners is a sight to see at any marathon event. However, in the NAHA marathon, various things are actually distributed, such as somen, Okinawa soba, and beef bowls in small cups. Some of them hand out jushi rice balls made at home. On the day of the event, please pay attention to the contents of the offerings distributed along the road.

In a variety of fun, close to the goal. The goal of a runner with the maximum strength is something that comes to my heart, even though others. Why don't you enjoy such excitement that both tourists and locals can unite regardless of?

※The above-mentioned support scenery along the roadside will be an article before 2019.

The annual New Year's holiday event, which is celebrating its 27th anniversary, Okinawa Children's Country "Christmas Fantasy" will be held again this year! It is an event that is popular among citizens of the prefecture as one of the largest illumination events in the prefecture. Aurora will appear in Okinawa, including illumination spots that shine on SNS, such as the popular illumination spots "Niagara" and "Heartland"! Japan's largest "Super Aurora Attraction of Sound, Light and Fireworks" is a must-see, and fireworks are launched every day. At the Snow Yuenchi, you can also enjoy snow experiences in southern Okinawa, such as snow sleds, kamakura, and snowfall shows. In addition, Eisa folk dance appeared in dance, Santa, zombie and dinosaur! It is recommended for spending time from Christmas to New Year's holidays.

Yomitan Village Ware Pottery Market is a recommended event where you can easily interact with Yachimun. The workshops of Yomitan Village Yaki Kiln and Yomitan Village Yakikita Kiln gather here and sell their proud Yachimun and Shisa at a reasonable price.

Even if you say a little bit, the design varies. How about a small plate or cup with a cute gentle polka dot pattern for your home, or a bowl with a taste that makes you want to drink unintentionally?　Of course, it is also perfect as a souvenir for your trip to Okinawa.

"Okinawa Bread Sweets Festa" is an event proposed by coco bagel, a bagel specialty store, where Okinawa's specialty bakery and confectionery shops gather together.
