The Highlights

Ocean views from the Imgyaa Marine Garden observation deck

A stunning Miyako Blue view woven from shades of emerald green spreads out before you.

From the observation deck on the park’s high ground, you can take in the south coast’s shoreline and the open sea.

Imgyaa Bridge

Imgyaa Bridge is also very beautiful and famous as a photo spot.

A natural seaside park where you can play in a calm sea with peace of mind

Imgyaa Marine Garden sits in a natural inlet sheltered from the open sea, so the waves are very gentle.

Small children and beginners can enjoy the water with peace of mind.

Walking paths and bridges, perfect for a stroll

Walking paths and bridges overlook the sea, so you can enjoy nature’s beauty as you stroll. With many photo spots, it’s great for pictures, too.

Observe tropical fish and coral while snorkeling

In the clear water, fish that live around Miyako Island swim about, and you can see natural coral reefs up close.

You can also book snorkeling and other activities on Viator or GetYourGuide, so why not take a look?

A comfortable setting with free parking and restrooms
