Shikina-en offers a rare chance to escape the crowds, shopping and concrete of Okinawa's largest city. Shikinaen Garden and Palace were constructed at the end of the 18th century as a second home for the royal family of Okinawa and to entertain VIP guests. Designed as a strolling garden, it is meant to be walked around rather than viewed from one particular point. The garden incorporates both Japanese and Chinese aspects of gardening combined with tropical plants, which makes it uniquely Okinawan.
