Villa From Okinawa

The show was a highlight for all of us. The cast kept things lively, and the baby dinosaurs looked so real that the kids were delighted. Even our dinosaur-mad girls got scared by the huge, realistic ones. Our two girls, ages 3 and 5, loved the indoor swings and rode them from check-in to checkout. We’re a family of four, and the cottage’s calming feel and the welcome at check-in helped us settle in. We did need to bring our own food and drinks, but had a comfortable stay.

We’d stayed here a few times already, but hearing about the dinosaur shows convinced us to bring our dinosaur-loving family back. After checking in at 4, the kids played on the courtyard climbing equipment, then joined in making giant bubbles with ropes. A staff member invited them over, and a baby dinosaur appeared for a quiz. Afterwards, the kids got to pet it and take photos. The BBQ was being prepared, and we ate while waiting for the 7 pm oldies show, which included a talk and dancing together. At the end, my husband and children, whose birthdays I’d mentioned in advance, got a surprise celebration. The dancers sang Happy Birthday, gave us balloons, and took a commemorative photo with us. That free service felt almost too good to be true. After a short break, the dinosaur show started around 7:40. The huge, realistic dinosaurs had the kids glued to the show, and it ended happily, with the children able to say goodbye. For 2,000 yen, you could also get a commemorative photo with the dinosaurs. The kids and parents all had a blast, and we’d like to return for the children’s birthdays.

We came for a lunch show because our kids love dinosaurs, and the moment we walked in, we wished we’d booked a night too, haha. Guest rooms were available while the BBQ was going on, which helped us stay comfortable despite the heat. The kids had a great time on the swings in the room, and the oldies vibe was relaxing for the adults. The show had two parts: first, everyone danced to classic songs, with the performers quickly getting the crowd into it. Then dinosaurs appeared, to the kids’ delight. The cast were so welcoming, and we had a lovely time from beginning to end. Next visit, we’re definitely staying overnight!

We celebrated my dinosaur-loving son’s birthday here. The room and garden had a lovely feel, and dinosaurs were everywhere. He could play on the equipment before the BBQ and between shows, so he stayed excited the whole time. The cast’s dancing was amazing, and the dinosaur show was powerful and so much fun. Thanks for the birthday surprise. The room, garden, and cast all made it a memorable day, and I’d love to visit again if I get the chance.
