Shikinaen Garden
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Shikinaen is a historic royal garden located just south of Shurijo Castle in Naha, Okinawa. Built in the late 18th century as a retreat and guest space for the Ryukyu kings, the garden reflects the cultural crossroads of Japan, China, and Okinawa. Design-wise, it blends Chinese features—such as stone bridges and pavilions—with the layout of a Japanese strolling garden, centered around a calm pond and designed for peaceful walking. Native tropical plants are arranged to evoke a natural, effortless beauty unique to Okinawa’s subtropical climate. Shikinaen is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized for its diplomatic history and its embodiment of Ryukyuan culture. Walking through the garden, you’ll feel the harmony between nature, architecture, and royal heritage that defined the Ryukyu Kingdom. Whether you’re a fan of landscape design, history, or quiet beauty, Shikinaen offers a peaceful yet powerful glimpse into Okinawa’s royal past.
