Miyakojima City Tropical Plant Garden

宮古島市熱帯植物園

Okinawa

Miyakojima City Tropical Plant Garden is a lush botanical garden showcasing a diverse collection of tropical plants native to the region. Visitors can stroll through beautifully landscaped paths and enjoy the vibrant colors and fragrances of exotic flowers and foliage. Typhoon season runs roughly June to October, and a passing storm can cancel ferries, flights and all marine activity across the islands at a day's notice — check the forecast before you rely on this stop.
