We love to emerse ourselves in Okinawan culture. We decided to expose my parents to the Eisaa Festival. This is an event that showcased the performace 10,000 Eisa Dancers along a 1 mile street in the heart of Naha. The elaborate costumes, Okinawan instruments, Eisaa dances and traditional foods/shops filled our senses with every bit of the local culture. We were even able to take the girls on their first Monorail experience! We truly enjoyed our cultural day!
