Naha: Historic Fukushuen Garden Tour

Step through the moon gate of Fukushū-en, a walled garden in Naha, and enter a world of curved bridges, koi-filled ponds, dragon-tiled pavilions, and sculpted stones arranged with poetic precision.

Be guided through stories not only of design but of identity—how Ryukyu wove foreign influence into something distinctly its own. In the filtered light that falls through bamboo groves and banyan trees, come to sense how this garden is less a replica of China than a quiet dialogue between two lands.

Choose the optional evening visit to deepen the experience further as lanterns glow along the paths, the sound of falling water grows more pronounced in the hush of night, and the garden, bathed in golden light and shadow, becomes a meditative space where the past lingers gently in the present, inviting you not only to witness beauty but to dwell in it.
