Yanbaru Forest Toy Museum

A really cool, interactive spot for kids

One thing I've really enjoyed about parenting in Japan are the ultra clean play centers that you can find around the country. On one visit we paid to Okuma Beach in Okinawa, we stopped by the Yanbaru Forest Toy Museum. This place is an absolute gem for kids - yes, it's called a toy "museum", but it's so interactive! There are a whole array of wooden toys for kids to play with, including a "ball pit" of egg-shaped wooden balls. I'd recommend it best for toddler aged-kids, but I honestly had quite a bit of fun myself as an adult!
