"I'd like a place where I can relax and enjoy the spectacular scenery of Miyako Island..."
"I want to go to a little-known, hidden gem of a spot."

For those looking for such a place, I, a local resident, recommend Kawamitsu Park, a hidden gem where you can enjoy both the sea and mangroves of Miyako Island at the same time.
Located just a 10-minute drive from Miyako Airport, this place is quiet and uncrowded, allowing you to relax and forget about time. Enjoying lunch while gazing at the ocean or taking a stroll through the mangrove forests along the coast are highly recommended.

The charm of Kawamitsu Park: Scenery of the sea and mangroves.

Kawamitsu Park is located south of Miyako Airport and is known locally as a spot for walking and fishing.

One of the defining features of Kawamitsu Park is its beautiful scenery, encompassing both the ocean and mangroves.

Mangroves are plants that inhabit brackish water areas where freshwater and saltwater mix in warm regions. There are several mangrove viewing spots in Okinawa Prefecture, and activities such as kayaking are popular. Kawamitsu Park is a valuable spot where you can easily see mangroves and the beautiful sea.

Furthermore, Kawamitsu Park is usually uncrowded, allowing you to spend a quiet and relaxing time there.
There's a gazebo in the green area adjacent to the sea, so it might be nice to have lunch while enjoying the view of the ocean and mangroves.

Access to Kawamitsu Park

Kawamitsu Park is located at the back of Kawamitsu Fishing Port, about a 10-minute drive from Miyako Airport.
Beyond the large free parking lot, there is a green area on a small hill, and beyond that green area, you can see the sea and a mangrove forest.


There are public restrooms in Kawamitsu Park, but there are no vending machines or other amenities.

When the tide goes out, you can go down closer to the mangrove forest and take a walk to see the mangroves up close. Be careful, as the wet ground around the mangroves is very slippery.

Enjoy a relaxing Miyako Island experience at Kawamitsu Park, a hidden gem where you can quietly enjoy the beautiful sea and tropical mangrove plants that are synonymous with Miyako Island.
