This combined weaving workshop and showroom offers a window into the textile traditions of the Yaeyama Islands — an art form that predates the current Japanese administration. You'll see master weavers at their looms producing distinctive minsa cloth with its geometric patterns, and exhibits explaining the cultural significance of each design. For a hands-on experience, you can reserve ahead to try weaving a coaster yourself. It's the kind of cultural deep-dive that transforms a beach holiday into something more layered.
