Okinawa International Orchid Show at Expo Park

Okinawa - Tour to Expo Park

We decided to try one of the tours that are offered by Kadena's "18th Services". We went with a group to the same area where we spent the previous day, 35 miles-ish north of where we live on the island. Our destination was Expo Park which is hosting the Okinawa International Orchid Show (a competition) this weekend. It was a VERY impressive park, mainly known for it's Churaimi Aquarium, which we did not have time to check out (you need a day just for it). After checking out the numerous orchids involved in the show, we toured the lush, gorgeous gardens. And then we ran over to the other side of the park, near the aquarium, for some free dolphin shows & sea turtle & manatee exhibits. Yes, even though we took WAY too many photos, we will definitely be coming back to this park!!
