Parks in Naha

Fukushuen (福州園) is a Chinese-style garden in central Naha, built in 1992 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Naha's sister-city relationship with Fuzhou, China. The garden features Fujian-style pavilions, waterfalls, and ornamental rockwork.

Peace Memorial Park (平和祈念公園) occupies the cliffs of Mabuni Hill where the Battle of Okinawa ended in June 1945. The park honors all who died — military and civilian, of all nationalities — through monuments, gardens, and the Cornerstone of Peace.

Sueyoshi Park (末吉公園) is a forested hillside park in northern Naha, offering walking trails through subtropical vegetation and a sacred utaki worship site. It's a peaceful escape from the urban center, popular with joggers and families.

Shikinaen (識名園) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — a serene royal villa and garden built in 1799 for the Ryukyuan royal family. The garden's design blends Chinese, Japanese, and Okinawan landscaping traditions around a central strolling pond.
