Fukushuen Chinese Garden

Fukushuen Garden, located in Naha, Okinawa, is a stunning example of traditional Chinese landscape design. This beautiful garden was established in 1992 to commemorate the long-standing cultural exchange between Okinawa and China, specifically with the city of Fuzhou, Okinawa’s sister city.

Designed by Chinese artisans, Fukushuen Garden features classic elements such as winding pathways, stone bridges, koi ponds, and lushly planted pavilions that invite visitors to step into a different world. These elements are meticulously arranged according to Feng Shui principles, aiming to harmonize individuals with their surroundings through careful spatial organization.

One of the garden’s highlights is its water features, including a large pond filled with colorful koi fish that symbolize good luck and prosperity. The garden also boasts a waterfall that adds a tranquil sound backdrop, enhancing the peaceful atmosphere. Throughout the year, the garden hosts various festivals and cultural events, providing a glimpse into Chinese traditions and celebrations.

Visiting Fukushuen Garden offers a peaceful retreat from the urban environment of Naha and an opportunity to appreciate the artistry and symbolism embedded in Chinese garden design. It's a place where history, culture, and natural beauty come together, creating a serene and picturesque setting ideal for relaxation and reflection.
