[Okinawa] Kouri Island: A spectacular observation deck spot with a panoramic view of the Kouri Blue

Kouri Island, a tourist spot where you can see the Kouri Bridge from the observation deck [Kouri Ocean Tower] Kouri Ocean Tower is a famous tourist spot on Kouri Island. Admission is 1,000 yen for adults. After purchasing a ticket, you can ride an automatic electric cart and proceed through the garden where tropical plants welcome you. In the cart, you can listen to audio guidance about the island's history and tourist spots. After arriving at the tower, you can first visit the Shell Museum. More than 10,000 shells collected from all over the world are displayed. From familiar shells to surprising shells, I was able to make new discoveries. After passing the Shell Museum, there was a shell shop where you could purchase accessories made from shells. After that, you can go up to the 2nd and 3rd floor indoor observation floors and the rooftop ocean deck while looking at the Kouri Island Museum, which shows the history of Kouri Island. The view from the open-air ocean deck was spectacular. You should definitely try the 360-degree panoramic view overlooking the Kouri Bridge. The view from the window frame on the indoor observation floor was like a painting. After enjoying the spectacular view, we went back to the first floor and went to the souvenir shop. They had a variety of products, including original sweets, wine, cosmetics, and miscellaneous goods. Finally, we took a break at the ocean restaurant "Ocean Blue". We had the restaurant's specialty tower drink. The Kouri Ocean Tower is a spot full of things to see. If you go to Kouri Island, be sure to check it out!
