The Digital Museum introduces through video and sound the language and culture of Miyakojima City, Okinawa Prefecture, and in particular that of the Nishihara district. It has been constructed so that the residents of Nishihara, those who are originally from the area but presently living elsewhere, and those who are interested in or studying Ryukyuan language and culture may learn about the language, life, and traditions of Nishihara.
