[2025 Tomigusuku ] Travel Guide for Little Universe OKINAWA (Updated Apr)

Little Universe OKINAWA opened in April 2024 in the large commercial facility "IIAS Okinawa Toyosaki" in Tomigusuku City, about 20 minutes by car from Naha Airport. This facility is a new hybrid entertainment facility that combines the latest technologies such as light, sound, AR (augmented reality) and 360-degree projection mapping with an elaborately reproduced miniature world. The most notable feature is the "My Avatar" created with the latest 3D scanner! You can import your own avatar, that is, your alter ego, created using a dedicated app into your smartphone and project yourself into the miniature world through your smartphone screen. What's more, you can run, dance, pose, and move around. This 3D avatar machine is usually quite expensive for personal use! Apparently this is the only place where you can experience such machines at an exceptional price. Other attractions include a miniature world based on the 18th century Ryukyu Dynasty, a Retro Tokyo area that recreates the streets of the Showa era in the 1980s, and the Evangelion "Village 3" area, which is a must-see for anime fans. Everything from buildings to people is reproduced in 1/80 scale with great detail and rich expression. Even more interesting is the "RYU-KYU Universe," which projects Okinawa's famous sites in pointillism data in all directions using 360-degree projection mapping. You can experience an immersive feeling like you've never experienced before. The room in "THE KALEIDOSCOPE," which recreates the world of a kaleidoscope, is also very beautiful. There is a kids' corner for small children to enjoy, as well as a souvenir shop, so it was an amusement park that everyone from adults to children can enjoy, even on rainy days! #tripdomestictravel #okinawamainisland #okinawa #themepark #amusementpark

Little Universe OKINAWA is located on the grounds of the shopping mall IIAS Okinawa Toyosaki, near Naha Airport in Tomigusuku City. This is Okinawa's newest spot, which opened in April 2024. It is an entertainment facility that combines the latest technologies such as digital spatial production, miniatures, and AR. Admission is 2,800 yen for adults. Okinawa residents can get a discount of 2,000 yen. An additional 1,500 yen will be charged for creating your own real avatar and 3D stamp. However, there is a discount campaign until January 31, 2025. A set of admission ticket + real avatar creation is 2,500 yen for adults. We purchased tickets as a set. When we passed through the entrance, we found spaces with various themes. The atmospheres of the spaces were completely different, such as the world of mirrors, the Ryukyu Dynasty area, and the retro Tokyo area, so we were able to enjoy each one fresh. Once you create your real avatar, you can enter this miniature world using your smartphone. The avatars can be easily controlled with a smartphone to walk, run, dance, etc., and can be recorded as they are or in photos and videos, so it was very interesting. After the miniature world, we watched RYU-KYU Universe, where the scenery of Okinawa is projected in 360 degrees using projection mapping. Okinawa's representative scenery was turned into a wonderful image using digital technology. Once you have gone through all the areas, there is a souvenir corner, a kids' space, and a cafe where you can get light meals. It is Okinawa's newest spot and is highly recommended! I hope you will go and experience it for yourself.
