The Okinawa Zoo & Museum Christmas Fantasy event has been running for over 25 years now, and it is one of the largest illumination events in the prefecture. Along with an array of dazzling light and laser beam displays, the event includes appearances from Santa Claus, stage performances showcasing Eisa dancing (a traditional Okinawan folk dance), and even bingo competitions.
Getting there
The Okinawa Zoo & Museum is located just over 30 minutes driving time from the downtown Naha area. Free on-site parking is available for approximately 350 vehicles.
For those visiting via public transport, take bus # 90 from the Naha Bus Terminal until you reach the Nakanomachi Stop. From there, the venue is around 15 minutes away on foot.
