Pineapples have been cultivated on Okinawa as an agricultural product for around a century. However, due to lower priced, imported pineapples, the industry has suffered in recent decades, while the fruit has been promoted as a tourist attraction, instead. The Nago Pineapple Park, a small, enjoyable theme park about pineapples, is a result of such promotion efforts.
The admission ticket to the park includes a ride on an automatic vehicle through pineapple fields and a tropical garden, and all-you-can-sample pineapple products in the adjacent souvenir shop. Among the various products are pineapple wines, juices, cakes, chocolates, as well as dried and fresh pineapple. You can also observe how pineapples are pealed, cut and canned.

| how
to get there |
By bus, take express bus number 111 from Naha Bus Terminal to Nago Bus Terminal (100 minutes, one bus/hour). Due to the absence of a reasonable bus connection from Nago Bus Terminal to the pineapple park, you may want to consider taking a taxi for the remaining 5 kilometers.
By car, take the Okinawa Expressway from Naha all the way to its northern end near Nago (70 kilometers, the expressway toll is 1000 Yen). From Nago it is another 5 kilometers to the pineapple park along route 84.
