Pineapples have been grown as an agricultural crop in Okinawa for over a century.
However, the business has suffered in recent decades due to the advent of lower-priced pineapples from outside.

As a result, some farmers have begun to market the fruit as a tourist attraction.
The Nago Pineapple Park (ナゴパイナップルパーク), a modest but entertaining pineapple-themed amusement park, results from such advertising efforts.

The park entry ticket includes a trip on an automated vehicle. Through pineapple fields and a tropical garden and access to an adjacent gift shop where guests may sample pineapple items. Pineapple wines, juices, cakes, chocolates, and dried and fresh pineapple are among the different goods. During certain seasons, visitors may also see how pineapples are peeled, sliced, and canned in a small factory on-site.
