Cape Chinen Park Information

The Cape Chinen Park is located in Nanjo-city southern part of Okinawa. Locals called it “hidden spot”. The park can be easily accessed from Naha airport with a 40 minute drive. There is Se-fa Utaki known as World Cultural Heritage Site and you can walk there from the park. You can use the free parking lot at the park while you visit the Se-fa Utaki as well.

The reason why Cape Chinen is called “the hidden spot” is because the spot is located at the back in the Chinen gym and its hard to find. If you want to go to the entrance of the Cape Chinen Park, you need to go to the rear of the gym. There is a sign that says “Cape Chinen is at the back of the gym”, but since it's not that big, most visitors can't find it. Hence, not only the visitors, but also some locals don't know the spot.

If you go to the observation platform, you'll see Katsuren island on your left, Niraikanai bridge on your right, and “God's island” Kudaka island is in front of you.

Tsukazan island on the right side is an island only accessible by ferry. If you have time to visit, it will be a good adventure!
