In addition to Orion Happy Park, there are locations in Nago City that deserve a spot on your itinerary.

Subaco in Nago Gusuku Park is a visitor center where you can take a coffee break while enjoying a view at a height of 100 meters. At Tenjo Tenbodai, an observatory near Subaco, you can enjoy a superb view of Nago Bay and forests around Mt. Nago. Todoroki Falls in the Sukuta District draw many visitors looking for a beautiful sight.

Come to Nago and explore these wonderful locations!
