Thanks to Habu Snake! August 2 is "Habu Snake Day"

Yes! Okinawa World.

Do you know what August 2nd is?
Yes. 8 (c) 2 (b) is "Habu Snake Day"!

In 2017, the Japan Anniversary Association officially recognized "August 2 is Habu Snake Day"!

Habu Snake inhabits Okinawa Prefecture and is feared as a poisonous snake.
But it is indispensable in Okinawa World!


Habu Museum Park in Okinawa World opened in 1979, with the desire to make people aware of Habu Snake and contribute to reducing damage to Habu Snake.
For more than 30 years, we have exhibited materials and living organisms related to Habu Snake.

In the park, we go to Habu Snake Show three times a day to delight many customers.

We also manufacture and sell Habu Snake Liquor in Nanto Brewery, Okinawa World.
Habu Snake Liquor, finished with special treatment, has a reputation for being very easy to drink.

As you can see, August 2 is a special day in Okinawa World, where we usually benefit from Habu Snake, as “Habu Snake Day”.
On this day, we also hold the “Habu Snake Memorial Festival” to give thanks to Habu Snake.

Thank you, Mr. Habu Snake.

Habu Snake is terrible, but special in a part of nature.
August 2 is Habu Snake Day.
I hope that it will be a day for as many people as possible to think about the understanding of Habu Snake and the coexistence of Habu Snake and humans.
