Welcome to the Garden! 🌿
Nestled in northern Okinawa, this garden boasts around 300,000 hydrangeas—all lovingly nurtured to ensure they light up the landscape with stunning shades of blue, purple, pink, and white. Talk about eye candy for flower lovers! 🤩 Every corner turns into a new surprise, and the blooms vary their expressions depending on where you stand. Pretty cool, huh?

In addition to the classic varieties like blue Himeajisai and Blue Diamond, you’ll find the ever-pleasing Miyake Tokiwa, which just loves to keep blooming year-round! And don’t worry—the fun doesn’t stop there. The garden is also home to tropical delights like begonias, conronka, and Medinilla magnifica. It’s like a mini vacation to the tropics without leaving Okinawa! 🏝️
