DMM Kariyushi Aquarium Hosts Offline Event 'Okinawa Charm Festival' in Taiwan

DMM Kariyushi Aquarium, operated by DMM.com LLC (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Chairman: Keiji Kameyama; https://dmm-corp.com/, hereinafter 'DMM'), held the 'Okinawa Charm Festival' on June 13 (Sat) and 14 (Sun), 2026, at Mitsu Shopping Park LaLaport Nangang (Location: Taipei, Taiwan), welcoming over 10,000 attendees in total.

Background and Purpose of the Event

In recent years, access from Taiwan to Okinawa has significantly improved, including the launch of regular flights between Okinawa and Taiwan, making Okinawan travel more accessible to Taiwanese visitors. At our aquarium, inbound tourists (foreign visitors to Japan) have been increasing year by year.

To further promote Okinawa as a travel destination in Japan, deepen awareness, and contribute to the revitalization of tourism in southern Okinawa, we decided to host this event locally at Mitsu Shopping Park LaLaport Nangang in Taipei.

Targeting local audiences in Taiwan—the closest overseas market to Okinawa—we designed multiple events around the theme: 'Exploring Okinawa as a family and visiting DMM Kariyushi Aquarium creates unforgettable family memories,' aiming to inspire appealing images of traveling to Okinawa.

Over 10,000 Attendees! Eisa Dance and Live Performances by Popular Artists

Approximately 60% of tourists visiting Okinawa rent cars, making car rentals a key transportation method for Taiwanese families who prefer to plan their own itineraries. Located just about 20 minutes by car from Naha Airport, our aquarium is easily accessible both as a 'starting point on arrival day' and as a 'spot to enjoy Okinawa until right before departure on the final day,' aligning perfectly with this car-rental-based travel style.

On the day, we presented powerful performances of Okinawa's traditional 'Eisa dance' and energetic live shows by popular artist 'Iidushi,' allowing local guests to experience the authentic atmosphere and culture of Okinawa with all five senses—right in Taiwan.

Additionally, stage events featured a luxury prize raffle co-sponsored by companies from across Okinawa Prefecture. Each announcement of prizes—such as round-trip air tickets between Naha and Taipei, accommodation vouchers at popular local hotels, and Kariyushi wear—was met with loud cheers from the audience, resulting in a highly successful and well-received program that delighted the many participants.

Visiting Taiwanese families shared positive feedback, including: 'Okinawan music was wonderful' and 'We'd love to visit the aquarium on our next vacation.'
