Activity

Discover and learn about Ogimi, a village deeply rooted in the wisdom of its ancestors, where the essence of longevity culture, nurtured by IKIGAI, can be experienced!

What kind of food do they eat, what is their lifestyle like, and what are the things that the villagers value?

Let's explore the secrets of longevity while interacting with seniors! Are you surprised by the skills of the elderly in the gateball team competition?!

If you have time, break a sweat playing gateball. Exercise is also the key to longevity!

Cooking experience using freshly picked Ogimi Shikwasa you harvested yourself! You can also make your own souvenirs to enjoy at home!

During seasons when Shikuwasa limes aren't in harvest, other fruits and vegetables will be harvested.

Explore Shioya in Ogimi Village, where traditional culture is deeply rooted, and learn about the lives of the villagers as you walk through the village!

You can learn about traditional events, the beliefs of the villagers, and other aspects of Okinawan culture that have been passed down through generations.
