Sueyoshi Park

Sueyoshi Park is an urban park in Naha featuring dense vegetation, walking paths, and a small stream running through its grounds. The landscape is built around two steep hillsides connected by ramps and staircases that guide visitors through the terrain.

The park houses one of eight important Ryukyu shrines, and its ancient stone steps were once recognized as national treasures. The shrine was rebuilt after being destroyed in 1972.

The park serves as a gathering place where people come to view the Hikan Zakura cherry trees during their January to February bloom. This seasonal tradition brings visitors together to experience the flowering trees in a community setting.

The park can be reached via Prefectural Highway 82 or by walking 15 minutes from the Shiyakusho Mae station on the Yui Rail line. The main entrance is easy to locate and provides a good starting point for exploring the grounds.

A network of pathways leads to a sacred shrine located at the northern end of the park, marked by stone signposts along the way. From this elevated location, visitors can see across the city of Naha below.
