Okinawa has many world cultural heritage sites, Shikinaen is one of them, and it is well maintained. It takes about 1 hour to walk around the park. I went in when the park opened at 9am. There were not many tourists (about 2-3 groups), and I felt it was very quiet. After walking, I went to the bakery next door to buy bread and cookies.
