Nago Pineapple Park in Okinawa
Last updated: September 13, 2026
Nago Pineapple Park is northern Okinawa's cheerfully single-minded tribute to its favourite fruit: automated pineapple carts glide you through working plantations and subtropical gardens while the story of how Okinawa became Japan's pineapple heartland unfolds along the route. At the Wine House, watch how Lagrima Del Sol — Spanish for "tears of the sun" — is pressed purely from pineapple and sample a glass, then catch the staff's exuberant Pappa Dance and browse shelves of pineapple sweets, cakes and juices. It sits on the road between Nago and the Churaumi Aquarium, a sweet, easy stop on any northern day trip.

Very — the cart ride, the tropical gardens and the staff's Pappa Dance performance play best with kids, and the tastings keep adults happy. Count on one to two unhurried hours to see everything.
The park stands in Biimata on the edge of Nago, in the north of Okinawa's main island, right on the route toward the Motobu Peninsula. It pairs naturally with the Churaumi Aquarium or Kouri Island on the same northern loop.
