The Okinawa Prefecture Cultural Promotion Association's Okinawa Prefecture Contract Project “Okinawa Tourism Attractiveness Improvement Support Project Utilizing Reiwa 6th Year Cultural Resources” aims to construct various traditional Okinawan performing arts experience proram models that utilize cultural resources (Sanshin (Three-string guitar), Ryukyu dance, Eisa folk dance, etc.) and can be incorporated into travel products, and establish a new tourism menu utilizing cultural resources unique to Okinawa. We will introduce advanced examples of travel products utilizing Traditional Performing Arts content for tourism operators, travel agencies, and cultural groups within the prefecture, and aim to promote future travel commercialization.
