Sun Messe Nichinan
A seaside park sits on a hill overlooking the Hyuga-nada Sea. Offering panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, Moai statues stand as a symbol of the park, the only place in the world outside of Easter Island where their replication is permitted. Food and beverage facilities and a tourist ranch are also available.
