Butterflies, Orchids and Stone Ruins: The Garden Next to Churaumi Aquarium

Churashima Botanical Garden (Tropical Dream Center) sits inside the same park as Churaumi Aquarium. Orchids, butterflies and a stone ruin overtaken by vines — plus the new Wednesday closure and the discount that no longer exists.

I run two private vacation rentals in Motobu, Okinawa — one house per group, no shared spaces. Both were homes that belonged to my wife's family, restored as places to stay.

Whenever I'm in Motobu, I write down the places I visit and the things I find along the way.
