Pineapple Park

Have a good time in Pineapple Park!!



Why we decided to go there?

A small water fall
Nago is famous for pineapple and there is a Pineapple Park near Meio University. But we had never been there, so we decided to go! And also, a lot of tourists come to Pineapple Park, so we want to know more about it!









What to do there?
We rode a pineapple car and saw some beautiful pineapple fields, flowers, and plants. There is a small water fall. It cooled us off! There is an automatic camera and we had our picture taken. You can buy the picture if you want! It is about 1,000 yen. We entered the building and we ate pineapple. It was so sweet and made us feel great!

The next building was a wine factory. We wanted to see how to make a pineapple wine but the factory was not working at this time. (too bad...)


A pineapple quiz.
On our left side, there was a quiz about pineapples. Next, we went to the souvenir shop. There were many kinds of pineapple juice, cookies, and chocolate. There were some Chinsuko. Do you know Chinsuko? This is a famous Okinawan cookie. We tasted all of them! They were so delicious!



How does this information help foreign students?
In the pineapple car, there is a voice recorder that explains what is in the field. The voice speaks in four languages: Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean. You can learn about many kinds of flowers, trees, and pineapple easily.


Why are there sea shells in Pineapple Park?
The Kyushu Okinawa summit was held in Nago City in 2000. In commemoration of the summit, Pineapple Park displays the shellfish which have been collected from all over the world and Nago Bay.


What we want to tell?
Let's learn about how sugarcane and pineapple contribute to the economy of Okinawa!

Nago will become a sightseeing spot like southern part and central part of Okinawa.
