This time we visited Neo Park Okinawa in Nago. The park is themed around a tropical natural environment, and walking through it feels like being out in nature. The overall atmosphere is very relaxed, making it a great place for families with children to stroll around together.

We happened to visit during the 33rd anniversary celebration, which added quite a few special activities and a lively atmosphere. The park isn't very large. At a leisurely pace, you can see everything in about two hours without getting too tired, while enjoying the various plants and animals along the way.

There was also an exciting bird show at the end with lots of interaction, making it perfect for kids! If you have a more relaxed itinerary, this place is well worth adding to a family trip to Okinawa〜

Senagajima Sunset Park

Located on Senagajima in southern Okinawa’s main island, this scenic spot is a local favorite for its breathtaking views. Just about 15 minutes by car from Naha Airport, its easy access is another reason for its popularity. Perched on a gentle hill, the park offers sweeping views of the endless blue sea and sky.

來到瀨長島，推薦一定要留點時間欣賞夕陽！傍晚的海面被夕陽染上一層金色，搭配遼闊海景，整個氛圍真的很浪漫，唯美景色讓人忍不住多停留一會兒。

瀨長島不大，沿著島上走一圈大約半個小時左右，步調很悠閒。這裡也是喜歡看飛機的人不能錯過的地方，可以一邊看海、一邊欣賞飛機起降，偶爾還能捕捉到飛機從眼前飛過的畫面。

如果安排沖繩自由行，瀨長島很適合排半天行程，除了散步看夕陽，也可以到「小希臘」逛逛、拍拍照，再找間海景餐廳用餐，坐著吹吹海風，慢慢欣賞夕陽。
Umikaji Terrace

Senaga Island with a 1.8km circumference is connected to Naha Airport with a marine road. This is where a multi resort facility stands. White buildings line the slope facing the emerald green ocean. It looks like a little town. The beauty was designed after the European resorts such as the Amalfi Coast in Italy and Santorini Island on the Aegean Sea.

Senaga Island is perfect for slowing down. It doesn't have many large entertainment facilities, but its ocean views and resort atmosphere are easy to fall in love with.

This time, I specifically chose to come on a weekday morning and was surprised to find far fewer people than I expected. I strolled slowly along the shore, enjoying the sea breeze and the deep blue ocean. The whole pace felt comfortable and relaxing. There were no crowds, and I didn't have to look for special angles to avoid people. I could stop and take photos whenever I wanted. It's really a great place to just unwind.

What attracted me most was watching the planes take off and land! Since it's very close to Naha Airport, you can see planes flying low over the water or slowly coming in to land. The blue sky and ocean, with planes passing by, feel so quintessentially Okinawan and are really impressive.
Hammock Cafe La Isla

A hammock cafe at Senagajima Umikaji Terrace, a resort complex where you can enjoy views of the blue ocean and planes taking off and landing. Every seat, both indoors and on the terrace, is a hammock, including large hammocks you can lie down in, hammocks you can sit and play in, and colorful Maya hammocks handwoven one by one by artisans in Mexico, letting you relax in the sea breeze.

The most unique thing here is that all the seats are hammocks. You can lie back comfortably while enjoying the Okinawa ocean view right in front of you, instantly putting you in relaxation mode. The hammocks aren't just nice to look at—they're also incredibly comfortable. With the sea breeze and the blue ocean, you really won't want to leave. It feels like you could stay all day without a problem.

The number one must-order is the mango dragon fruit juice. Not only does it taste good, but the colors are dreamy and it looks great in photos! The churros are sweet and delicious, and the savory food doesn't disappoint either. It was surprisingly good.

If you're visiting Senaga Island, besides seeing the ocean, this place is definitely worth setting aside some time to sit down and enjoy!
