Sun Messe Hinami

Flow of the course

About this spot

A theme park where seven Moai statues, the only ones in the world authorized for reproduction by Easter Island's elders, stand against the Pacific Ocean on a hilltop overlooking the Hinami Coast. You can touch the statues directly, and each is said to bring different blessings, from romance to financial luck—an entertaining feature. Colorful human-shaped objects contemplating the sea and sky dot the hillside slope, while swings overlooking the sea and scenic viewpoints make every corner a photogenic treasure trove. The combination of blue ocean and Moai evokes the feeling of visiting a foreign land. Capture an opening photograph for your Hinami journey bathed in the clear morning light.

Tips

The garden spreads across the sloped hillside with many winding paths, so wear comfortable walking shoes. As there are few shaded areas, bring a hat and sun protection. Moai statues can have queues for commemorative photos, so arriving early right after opening is recommended to avoid crowds.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1.5 hours. The clear morning light beautifully captures the sea and Moai at their best.
