Shikina-en
421-7 Aza Maaji, Naha City
|
Built in 1799, this is a garden that contains one of the royal family's residences. It was used as a retreat not only for the royal family but also for envoys from the emperor of China, thus playing an important role in the diplomacy of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The garden was destroyed during World War II, but its restoration began in 1975 and continued for over the next 20 years. Visitors can enjoy differences in style and atmosphere while touring the premises. The trees and plants are arranged in such a way that there are blossoms to enjoy in every season. |
