Thousands of orchids of every imaginable variety line the pathways of the Tropical Dream Center of the Ocean Expo Park as visitors have their photos taken in front of the exotic flowers.

The Okinawa International Orchid Show is designed to gain attention for orchids, promoting the spread of floriculture, creation of art culture and sightseeing promotion, while at the same time promoting urban greening and the promotion of utilizing a park and promoting orchids.

The Orchid Show features a contest among growers, and the winners of each category are displayed prominently during the show.

This year’s 36^th Okinawa International Orchid Show runs through November 18^th at Ocean Expo Park in Motobu.

Admission is ¥760 for adults and free for children 15 years and under.  The show has contributed not only to a better understanding of orchids, but as a tourist industry promotion of Okinawa.  It’s the largest domestic orchid show and a big winter event in Okinawa.
