Neo Park Okinawa

ネオパークオキナワ

Nago, northern Okinawa · near No rail access; buses/car to Nago (near Nago city centre)

Neo Park Okinawa in Nago, northern Okinawa. Flamingos, pelicans and free-roaming birds walk right up to you across huge open aviaries recreating the Amazon and Africa, and there is a hands-on area with capybaras and giant tortoises.

Why children love it: Flamingos, pelicans and free-roaming birds walk right up to you across huge open aviaries recreating the Amazon and Africa, and there is a hands-on area with capybaras and giant tortoises.

Honest drawbacks: It is an outdoor park in the far north with no train; hot and shadeless in summer, and the animal-interaction area and train ride carry extra fees.
