Bios no oka, a.k.a. Bios on the Hill, a nature-oriented theme park in Uruma City with plenty of fun activities for your friends and family.

Some of the famous attractions there are water buffalo cart rides, boat rides and orchid viewing. However, the park also offers plenty more.

Try on a Ryukyu-era costume and take lots of photos, get a Dr. Fish pedicure or take a stroll around the Tounchi section with elaborate ficus trees in an array of intricate shapes and figures.

You can take a swing or relax on hammocks on the lawns near one of the lakes on the grounds.

Bios on the Hill has something for everyone to enjoy!
