The experience
Enjoy the Pacific blue from atop this observation tower
If you’re visiting Kouri Island, then a trip to the Kouri Ocean Tower is a must-do.
Once you’re on Kouri Island, you’ll be surrounded by a palette of blue as the Pacific Ocean laps at the small island’s edges. If Kouri Island’s tiny size wasn’t already quaint enough, then hopping in an automatic golf cart and riding up to Kouri Ocean Tower will ensure it is.
Once you reach the tower, you’ll have access to the Shell Museum and the observation deck. At the museum you’ll find more than 10,000 rare seashells from around the world, with the chance to buy your own memento at the end.
Near the top of the 82-meter-tall tower you’ll get to enjoy uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean with mainland Okinawa on the horizon. After you’ve stopped to appreciate the scenic beauty, head to the top of the tower and ring the happiness bell to cement your memory.
