Nago Pineapple Park is an experiential theme park centered around pineapples, located in Nago City in the northern part of Okinawa Island. The vast grounds feature areas where you can learn about pineapple cultivation, surrounded by beautiful tropical plants.

It is a beloved spot for many tourists to deepen their knowledge of pineapples while experiencing Okinawa's rich nature and food culture through all five senses.
