Umino Hoseki / Itoman City, Okinawa Prefecture: Fun Indoor Crafts Even on Rainy Days! Okinawa-Exclusive Tie-Dye T-Shirt Workshop

For anyone planning a trip to Okinawa who wants to “create special memories that will last a lifetime,” I highly recommend the “Umino Houseki” art workshop, located inside “Asobiba ITOMAN” in Itoman City, Okinawa Prefecture.
Here’s an exciting new experience that’s sure to be a hit this summer—you can take home your very own original design the very same day!

I'm so excited about this one-of-a-kind experience!
Create Your Own Magical T-Shirts

At "Umino Hōseki" in Asobiba ITOMAN, you can try your hand at tie-dyeing to create colorful T-shirts!
The biggest highlight is that, thanks to a special permit from Orion Beer, you can also dye Orion T-shirts. (*While the main focus is on the original T-shirt dyeing experience, this rare T-shirt is also available as an option thanks to the special permit!)

Choosing your four favorite colors and letting them soak into the fabric feels just like casting a spell—it’s so much fun! While you’re dyeing it, you might find yourself wondering, “Is this a little too dark?” and feeling a bit nervous, but the moment you unfold it, those worries vanish. You’re sure to be deeply moved by the result: a beautiful, one-of-a-kind gradient T-shirt with more character than you could have imagined.

The whole family will be hooked!
A Hands-On Art Experience That Unleashes Children's Creativity

Since choosing colors and dyeing are intuitive and fun, this is the perfect activity for families with young children.
One thing to keep in mind is that Orion Beer T-shirts aren’t officially sold in kids’ sizes (probably because it’s an alcohol brand). However, as long as the store has them in stock, you can choose an XS or S size and have your child wear it as a “slightly oversized” fit—it’ll look super cute!
Since you can never predict what colors will emerge with tie-dye, it really brings out children’s free-spirited creativity and imagination. The activity takes about 30 minutes, and thanks to the quick-dry machine, the wait time is only 15 minutes, so even children who get bored easily can enjoy participating all the way through.

Enjoy Your Okinawa Trip to the Fullest, Even on Rainy Days!
Comfortable Creative Time in a Cool Room

Whether you’re caught in a sudden rain shower during your trip to Okinawa or facing days when the sun is too strong to walk outside, this workshop is a great option. Since you can work in a cool, fully indoor space, you can fully enjoy this uniquely Okinawan activity without being affected by the weather at all.

In addition to T-shirt dyeing, there are activities like “alcohol ink art” and “Deco Shisa painting,” and the fact that none of them require a reservation—you can sign up right away—is a big plus when you’re traveling and your plans are likely to change!

You can stop by on your drive through the southern region!

It’s about a 40-minute drive from Naha Airport, making it an ideal spot to incorporate into a southern Okinawa road trip. With free parking available, it’s easy to access by rental car.

Make it a special memory of your trip to Okinawa!

Once it dries, the color softens and settles beautifully, making it the perfect piece for everyday wear! While it needs to be hand-washed the first time, it’s so convenient that you can just toss it in a laundry net and wash it in the machine afterward.
Whenever Kazunari, Son-chan, and I see these handmade T-shirts after we get home, we say, “We made the right choice with that color!” and our fun memories of Okinawa come flooding back. Even without any special skills, they always turn out absolutely adorable, so I highly recommend them for couples or married couples who want to make matching T-shirts!
