About this spot

A free plant garden within Kaiyohaku Park featuring shaded walking paths with tropical and subtropical trees and flowers. You can enjoy Okinawa-endemic plants, brilliantly colored hibiscus, and large banyan trees - a fitting subtropical landscape to rest your body after viewing the aquarium. Climbing to higher points in the park offers panoramic views of the East China Sea and Emerald Beach where tonight's fireworks will take place, allowing you to visualize the viewing location beforehand. Best of all, admission is free.

Tips

You can walk from the aquarium via park trails. The sun is strong, so don't forget a hat and sunscreen. Resting on shaded benches while strolling maintains a comfortable pace. Park maps are available at entrances and parking areas.
