    Сказочная пещера, что впечатляет своими размерами. Также в парке проводится шоу барабанщиков. Было интересно посетить музей посвящённый змеям.

    It's a truly delightful park. Right at the entrance, you'll see a cute pineapple cart, and the park plays cheerful music. The staff were always welcoming, and the guy taking the photos was incredibly dedicated, making it a memorable moment for our small group. Seeing the photos made us eager to buy more. There's also a wide variety of pineapple products. My son said it was a shame there weren't any free tastings like in China, which was a bit disappointing. Haha ...

    There are four museums in total, and I bought a pass. The service is good, the appearance is unique, the museum content is not much, but it is complete. There are some abstract works on display in the special exhibition of the art museum, it depends on your preference.

    Here you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Okinawa City, with the Pacific Ocean to the east and the East China Sea to the west. When the weather is good, you can see Ie Island behind the Kurashiki Water Tower Observation Tower! Just tell the staff at the first-floor general information desk that you want to go up to the observatory, and a security guard will take you up. However, if you are a group, you need to make an appointment in advance. Another thing to praise is that it is completely free.
