If your winter plans include hot cocoa, fuzzy socks, and pretending Okinawa is actually cold… well, here’s an upgrade 🌟 Kanucha Resort in Nago is kicking off its huge winter illumination event, Stardust Fantasia 2025–2026, and it’s basically a glowing theme park for adults and kids who want an excuse to be outside after sunset ✨
The theme this year? Odyssey—a long, sparkly adventure across a resort so big you’ll wish your legs came with a turbo mode. Luckily, they actually give you a rental cart 🚗💨
Time to stroll, glow, and maybe question why Okinawa palm trees look better lit up than most of us on payday.
