Okinawa Kids Playground

 You never realise playground can be so much fun until you have kids. Back in the days, our playground is plain slides, swing, see saw and repeat. This is our third time in Okinawa, first in 2016 when Nana is 1yo; then 2019 when she’s 3.5yo and Dayday 2yo where we never visit any playground. Now, a year later, they are at the age where they’ll enjoy playground more. Okinawa is famous not only for the blue hole diving or fireworks at beach, they’re one of the most family-friendly holiday destination ! Japan is overall family friendly, but Okinawa is even better with over 200 kids park & playground.  


🌳Sakura No Mori Forest Park is located right between the moutains of Yaedake. The park is well maintained with lots of free parking lots, vending machines, restrooms, picnic pavilions and most importantly, playground equipments for kids all age. When there’s slide, there’s laughter. When there’s grass, it always ends with bubbles.

🌳Inami Park is right on our way to American village from Motobu. It’s just a neighbourhood playground but absolutely fun for kids. Restrooms, vending machines and parking lots are equipped. The swings are in pocket shape, slide is excited even for us adult.

🌳Nakagusuku Trampoline Park, they say it’s the biggest in Okinawa. They’re right! The cloud look alike trampoline kept my kids busy for over an hour. Then the slides, sandpits and other playground equipments, not forgetting the huge spaces of grass for picnics, playing fetch or simply running around. And of course , the park has restrooms, vending machines and parking lots.

🌳Peace Memorial Park at the south of Okinawa is one of our favourite! It is big with different areas; the nets, trampolines, climb and slides, obstacles challenges. Kids could jump at the trampolines happily, master their climbing skills. The slides are long and because it’s quite high up, say about 2-3 storey height, so it slides faster than the usuals. And there are obstacles to keep your brain working while practice balancing 😌  .

🌳Gukusu Road Park in Nanjo City is lovely! It is our playground in Okinawa. We love how they have all kind of equipment; the wiggling bridges, the nets for climbing, the slope with rope, balancing bridge and of course the slides and swings! It’s definitely where kids play and grow better, physically and mentally.

High Island Reservoir East Dam (萬宜水庫東壩)

A couple of months ago, I planned on an easy scenery walk with kids and their friends. We left home right after school, only managed to grab a bite on the way to Sai Kung. There are plenty of hiking trails waiting for us in Sai Kung but this time, we go for the easiest route, just a short visit to the East Dam.  It’s a reservoir formed in 1978, known for the volcanic rock columns and anchor shape sea barrier(錨形防波提), a breakwater. There’s public toilets right at the entrance to High Land Reservoir East Dam, along there’s information on volcanic rocks and pavilion. It’s concrete or asphalt pavements all the way down to the sea cave which is proof of coastal erosion (海蝕洞).  On your way down to the breakwater, there’s a gigantic wall of volcanic rocks, which is the hexagonal rocks columns! Its a 140 millions year old volcanic history. Along the way you passed the road with sea barrier (my suggestion is to spend time here on your way out), hexagonal volcanic rocks on your right a...

Tips: Hiking

Hiking with kids can be tough but we did it anyway, because it’s one of the best way to show kids the right way to care and love the nature. Of course, there are times where kids get worn out, feel bored or throw tantrums; but they develop new skills like observing plants and livings in nature, experience independence and trained physiques when they spend time outdoors.  However, heading into the nature with children requires some planning and prep;  1. Right clothing and gear. Layers of clothes so you could adjust for changing temperatures, weather and condition. Closed-goes shoes that fit well. Accessories like hat and sunglasses  2. Stock up your backpack.  Filled up with snacks for kids (something they’ll look forward to), plenty of water, sunscreen and bug repellent. Consider to let your young children like mine (4.5yo and 3yo) bring 1 of their favourite toy if it makes them feel better about the hike. And not forget the first aid kit stock with bandage, bite an...

Amphibians or Reptiles ?

Do you know how to differentiate amphibians and reptiles? Well, we learnt that (yes, even as adult, I learnt with my kids) at the amphibian classroom held by ki2zoo  Kids absolutely love the class ! They asked to have a pet gecko or snake few months back, but of course, mommy is no fan of cold-blooded pet, so I rejected 😂 Hence, they’re looking forward to this class, being able to held and pet those (in their word) “cute and adorable” little geckos and baby snakes.  The 1hour 20mins class time include introducing, little quiz game for kids, picture and petting time.  Kids now know that the 🥚 eggs for reptiles and amphibians are different, reptile’s is with eggshells and the latter lay eggs in water and covered in gel ; 🦎 reptiles’ skins are dry, hard and scaly while 🐸 amphibians are smooth and highly porous : and amphibians needs water in their habitat their life cycles involves that.  If you’re interested, I’ve gathered some information from the organisation:...
