If you’re looking for something new on the island, you should check out Little Universe Okinawa. It is a theme park that combines miniatures and digital technologies such as augmented reality (AR).

Their miniature of Ryukyu Kingdom (1429-1879) and midtown Tokyo from the 1980s will offer a great amount of detail and even a sense of nostalgia.

You can even create your own avatar and travel the miniature world with your little buddy.

There are also 3D projection mappings, a demonstration of toy train rails, and so much more to explore.

Since its debut in April, this new theme park on the third floor of iias Okinawa Toyosaki shopping mall near Naha Airport keeps evolving by introducing new shops or activities to try.

A special discount is offered for admissions through the end of January, so why not take advantage of the hybrid digital and analog fun?
