"Ryukyu Glass Village Bidoro" in Itoman City is a facility where you can observe the production site of Ryukyu glass, a representative traditional craft product of Okinawa, up close. Within the vast grounds, there are demonstration corners for glass art, shops, cafes, and other facilities scattered around, creating a space where you can leisurely experience the charm of glass.
What stands out at Bidoro is the demonstration of hand-twisted glass by craftsmen. Skillfully manipulating heated glass rods, each handcrafted work is filled with the breath of that moment. Occasionally glimpsing this "live scene" will deepen your emotions towards the works.
After strolling through the town of glass, take a break at the cafe "Bidoro" within the same facility. In the open terrace seats, you can enjoy Okinawan tea and light meals while basking in the sun's blessing. It is a luxurious space where you can spend leisurely time while being caressed by the pleasant sea breeze.
The workshop corner where you can challenge glass art is also popular. It's attractive that you can choose from simple tasks to full-fledged experiences according to age and skill level. It's a place where families with children can also enjoy the joy of creation.
Captivated by the glass art shining in the sun of Okinawa, why not visit Ryukyu Glass Village? You will surely be fascinated by the solid skills and warm hospitality backed by tradition.
