Each time I visited Okinawa, I would catch glimpses of this Chinese-style garden from the road—and this time, I finally stepped inside.
Located in central Naha, Fukushuen Garden was built in 1992 to mark the 10th anniversary of the sister-city relationship between Naha and Fuzhou, China. With its traditional architecture, ponds, and arched bridges, the garden offers a peaceful escape in the heart of the city.
Visitors strolled through the space with quiet curiosity, each enjoying the calm in their own way. These moments were captured with my GR III. ■
沖縄を訪れるたびに、道路からこの中国式庭園の姿が少しだけ見えていた。そして今回、ようやく中へ入ることができた。
那覇の中心部にある福州園は、那覇市と中国・福州市の友好都市締結10周年を記念して、1992年に造られた庭園だ。伝統的な建築、池、太鼓橋が配された空間は、街の中心にありながら穏やかな避難場所のようだった。
訪れた人々は静かな好奇心を持って園内を歩き、それぞれのやり方で落ち着いた時間を楽しんでいた。その瞬間をGR IIIで撮影した。■
