One day, two kinds of blue. On Sunday, October 4, Churakids is taking kids on a bus trip up north to Motobu.
Morning: Aikaze, a small indigo-dyeing studio in the hills of Izumi. The dye comes from Ryukyu indigo plants grown right there. The kids see how a green leaf turns into that deep blue, then each child dyes a small shibori cloth to take home. No two come out the same.
Afternoon: Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium — whale sharks, manta rays, and the reef fish of the East China Sea. The kids explore in small groups with our staff. Admission is included.
Most of the bus is local Okinawan kids the same age, so your child spends the whole day side by side with them — sharing lunch, dyeing together, and coming home with new friends. Our staff speak English, so no Japanese is needed.
Kids only (drop-off trip). Meet 8:15 AM at Churakids, 2-14-2 Kaihou, Okinawa City. Back around 5:15 PM.
Fee per child: SOFA $75 / Non-SOFA $85. Includes bus, dyeing workshop and aquarium admission. Sibling discount: 10% off the 2nd child, 20% off the 3rd and beyond. Pay online by card.
Bring: packed lunch, water bottle, hat, comfortable shoes, and clothes that can get stained (indigo doesn't wash out).
Runs rain or shine (both activities are indoors).
Cancellation: full refund up to 3 days before / 50% from 2 days before / no refund on the day.
25 seats, first come first served — 7 left.
