Decently good spot, great for a walk. You can feel the breeze carrying the scent of sea on your face. Interesting trees, feels really pristine and natural, good for a field trip I suppose. Dozens of cafes and restaurants around, enough for at least 100 ppls to eat and drink at the same time.
Parking lots are not that big. Lots of mosquitoes, flies and other bugs. No shop is open when typhoon hits (Logically understandable), not a well-organized place for walking in slippers.
Overall rating 4.2/5 based on personal opinion.
It can be a little difficult to find the free parking, so you may end up paying around 500 yen elsewhere.
I didn’t realize this place was so huge. Walking the course there and back takes about an hour.
There are not only many small shops, but also local homes along the way, which gives the area a really unique atmosphere.
I ended up getting zenzai at a small place near the ocean. It was only 350 yen and absolutely delicious. The owner’s mother even gave me some shima bananas, which were so good.
I didn’t finish the entire walking course, but it was still such a refreshing and relaxing walk.
Good bonus stop, but don't make a special trip.
If you're already heading to the aquarium nearby (it’s just a 5-minute drive away), this is a lovely spot to pull over, stretch your legs, and snap some nice photos of the tree road and ocean views. That said, it’s a pretty quick sight—not quite unique enough to justify a long, dedicated drive just to see it. Pair it with other nearby plans!
Nice beach walk. Yes, it is supposed to be a tree road walk but 40% of the trail is along the coast. Prepare to spend 2 hours there if you want to leasurly walk. Longer if you plan lunch, or dinner, at the very small and nice dining establishment there. Can also plan for tea break at the cafe over there.
Walked to the tree lined road from the aquarium, stopping by the emerald beach on the way. Spent about 30-45 mins strolling and taking some photos.
The trees were surrounding private houses there, so it is best not to disturb the residents there.
There is a shuttle bus that brings you back from Bise trees to the aquarium and other major hotels at motobu.
