Free Admission, Subtropical Flowers & Grand Greenhouse for a Taste of the Tropics

About this spot

A prefectural subtropical botanical garden located near the entrance to Aoshima, at the base of the Yayoi Bridge, affectionately known as Miyako Botanic Garden Aoshima. The free admission will surprise you with its comprehensive offerings—phoenix palms and other varieties reach skyward, while colorful seasonal flower beds adorn the ground. The grand greenhouse lets you observe tropical flowers and fruit trees up close, making it a delightful spot to enjoy tropical vibes even on rainy days. Located conveniently near Aoshima Shrine for a paired visit, you can take a moment to rest on the benches while the soothing sound of palm fronds rustling in the sea breeze fills the air. This verdant oasis is also an ideal spot for photography during your stroll.

Tips

Free admission makes it easy to drop by casually. The garden paths are flat and accessible with strollers, making it family-friendly. The greenhouse is warm, so layer your clothing for easy adjustment. Visiting both Aoshima Shrine and the garden in the morning creates an efficient itinerary.
