Okinawa Prefectural Museum & Art Museum

**Overview** Okimyu is a practical first or last stop in Naha. The museum and art museum share a building in Omoromachi, with different permanent-gallery tickets. Start with the museum if you want an overview before visiting castles and sacred sites, or select the art museum when the collection is the point of the visit. The prefecture publishes later hours on Fridays and Saturdays, which can keep a central Naha day flexible when other plans run long. **Key metrics** - Museum adult admission: ¥530 - Art museum adult admission: ¥400 - Friday and Saturday closing: 20:00 - Regular closing: 18:00 **Pros** - The history and art collections can be visited separately. - Friday and Saturday hours give visitors an evening option. - Wheelchairs and strollers are available on request. **Cons** - The regular Monday closure needs to be factored in. - The two permanent collections use separate admission fees. - Special exhibition admission can differ from permanent-gallery prices. **Best for** Naha visitors looking for an indoor cultural stop and travelers who want context for what they saw elsewhere on the island. **Things to watch out for** Check the prefectural calendar around public holidays and year-end. If time is tight, choose the collection that best fills the gap in your trip.
