Ever wake up thinking, "What should we do today?"
I don't know about you but this is a constant question that comes to mind when planning our family's weekend adventures. Chipping away at our bucket list of things-to-do in Okinawa.
I personally had no idea about this place called Bios no Oka. I saw an advertisement for it during one of my outings and saw they had a boot tour. I was instantly sold.
"Bios" means "life" in Greek. Bios no Oka is a subtropical forest filled with orchids and nature trails. Bios no Oka is situated on the Ishikawa highlands. It is more than just about flowers but a beautiful place to spend your day with your family, as a couple, or a group of people. It's for all ages and lots to do for the little ones.
You can take a tour of the lake with an English speaking tour guide or ride the farm tour train. You can even ride a water buffalo cart throughout the park. Miss kayaking or paddle boarding? Well, you can do it here too!
It also has a large playground area made out of wood logs to let your kids run free, wooden swings, and hammocks to just relax. The park also has a petting zoo and you can even walk goats. Beautiful location to capture your Kodak moments, so bring your cameras.
It has a few restaurants throughout the park and you can even order some delicious Okinawa Soba or Taco Rice. They even have a Tea house to relax after your walks.
The park is stroller friendly and has baby changing stations throughout the park; it is also wheelchair accessible.
