Overview
Elegant royal garden blending Japanese, Chinese, and native Okinawan landscaping.
The second residence of the Ryukyuan kings, designed to entertain foreign envoys. The landscape seamlessly blends traditional Japanese strolling gardens with Chinese bridge architecture and native Okinawan flora. The wooden palace buildings overlook a peaceful, asymmetrical pond.
Local tips
The garden was specifically designed to be viewed from the inside of the wooden palace, so take time to sit on the tatami mats and look out.
