Facts and practical information

Nestled in the heart of Naha, the capital city of Okinawa Prefecture in Japan, lies the tranquil Fukushūen. This serene park, a symbol of peace and friendship, stands as a testament to the cultural exchange between Naha and its sister city, Fuzhou, China. Inaugurated in 1992 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the sister-city relationship, Fukushūen is designed to embody the traditional Chinese garden style, complete with stunning features such as a koi pond, a waterfall, and elegant pavilions.

Covering an area that offers a peaceful retreat from the urban bustle, the garden's layout is meticulously planned to create a harmonious blend of natural beauty and man-made structures. Visitors can meander along its winding paths, cross arched bridges, and enjoy the carefully curated flora that includes both Okinawan and Chinese plants.

The park is not just a place for leisurely strolls but also a cultural bridge, incorporating elements such as a Chinese-style tea house where guests can experience authentic tea ceremonies. The design of the garden is attributed to the collaborative efforts of both Naha and Fuzhou, ensuring that every aspect of Fukushūen reflects the depth of the two cities' connection.
