Want a keepsake from your Okinawa trip with the whole family in ryusou, traditional Ryukyuan dress? This guide covers how to take family photos in ryusou in Naha, and a few tips for the day.
Why ryusou works so well for family photos
- The bright colors stand out against Okinawa's sky and sea. Vivid patterns such as bingata, Okinawa's traditional dyed textile, become the star of the photo against blue skies and water.
- Everyone from kids to grandparents can match. We also have ryusou for children.
- The whole experience becomes part of the memory. Choosing your outfits and getting dressed together is part of the trip.

Tips when you have young children
- Choose a time that avoids your child's nap and meal times. It is easier to get natural smiles.
- Kids sometimes dislike unfamiliar clothes. Don't push, and keep it short and fun.
- If you have any worries, tell us in the remarks field when booking, or call us.
Tips for three generations
- Decide in advance whether the family will match colors or each generation will choose differently. Picking outfits goes more smoothly.
- Go at a comfortable pace for the grandparents.
- Besides a full-family photo, ask for different combinations, such as parents and kids, or grandchildren with grandparents.
