Senagajima Sunset Park

Located on Senagajima in southern Okinawa’s main island, this scenic spot is a local favorite for its breathtaking views. Just about 15 minutes by car from Naha Airport, its easy access is another reason for its popularity. Perched on a gentle hill, the park offers sweeping views of the endless blue sea and sky.

The main highlight, as its name suggests, is the stunning sunset. As evening approaches, the sky is painted in shades of orange and pink, creating a dreamy, almost magical atmosphere. Since Senagajima faces west, it’s the perfect place to watch the sun dip below the horizon.

If you're lucky, you might even catch a rare natural phenomenon called the "green flash"—a brief moment when the setting sun glows green just before disappearing. This phenomenon requires specific conditions like clear air, the right temperature, and humidity, but sightings are relatively common on Senagajima. Your best chance is around October, when the air is crisp and clear. Said to bring good luck, this mystical moment is definitely something to experience for yourself.
