What makes it so appealing is its particular way of displaying it!<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0The biggest attraction of Okinawa Children’s Land is the way it is displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 In recent years, renovations have been made to the zoo, and the breeding space has not only been designed to recreate the natural environment in which the animals live, but it has also become possible to view the breeding space from various angles. is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 In addition to observing from the same perspective, you can also observe from various angles, such as looking down from above or peeking from below. It’s not a flat cage, so it’s fun to discover where the animals are hiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encounter rare animals found only in Okinawa in the world<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Okinawa Children’s Country, we are putting effort into breeding animals in order to let as many people as possible know about the animals, nature, and culture of the Ryukyu chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ryukyu chain refers to more than 100 archipelago stretching approximately 1,200km from the southern tip of Kyushu to Taiwan. Once connected by land from mainland China to Kyushu, the continent has sunk and reattached many times over the course of its long history, and many rare animals have been left behind here in the Ryukyu Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
