Beautiful Chinese garden in the middle of Naha. I came here during the week in summer and it wasn't crowded at all even with a large cruise ship docked. Entry fee for adults is only 200 yen. I wandered around for about 45 minutes enjoying the tranquility and taking pictures.
Tip: The parking lot across the road has a free first 60 minutes policy.
I had such a tranquil experience at Fukushūen Garden. For such an affordable entry fee, I ended up spending over an hour wandering and appreciating the beautiful cultural details throughout the garden.
Feeding the koi was a highlight—fish food is available to purchase, and it’s a fun, relaxing activity. It was also fascinating to see the influence of the Ming Dynasty reflected in the garden’s design and architecture.
The waterfall was especially soothing, and I loved that you can walk behind it and even climb to the top to look down over the entire garden.
Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Naha.
From the outside it doesn’t look like much but inside the garden, it’s like a fantasy wonderland. There’s several gazebos to sit at and really nice water features. The main waterfall is nicely placed in front of this bridge and you can walk around, on top, and inside the waterfall. I went on a weekday when there was basically nobody there and I highly recommend setting aside at least an hour if not more just to wander around the whole place. Very cheap tickets too!
We went to this garden at dusk an it was stunning! You can buy food to feed the koi for 100yen and as it gets dark various parts of the garden are lit up. It’s a beautiful place enjoy some calm and take great photos. Would definitely recommend!!
Nice quiet Chinese style garden in the middle of Naha. It has a pong that is full of hungry kois of all colours. Always following humans thinking there is food. Haha.
I like the carved granite dragon pillars from one of the taverns.
It is a paid park. Entry before 6pm is JPY200, JPY300 after 6pm (for the lights I guess).
