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

Yes! Okinawa World.

Do you know what day August 2 is?
That's right. 8 (c) 2 (b) is "Habu Snake's Day"!

In 2017, it was officially recognized as "Habu Snake Day on August 2" by the Japan Anniversary Association!

Habu Snake lives in Okinawa Prefecture and is feared as a poisonous snake.
But it's an indispensable part of Okinawa World!


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

In the park, Habu Snake Show is held three times a day to entertain many customers.

In Nanto Brewery, Okinawa World, manufactures and sells Habu Snake Liquor.
Habu Snake Liquor, which is finished with special treatment, has a reputation for being very easy to drink.

As you can see, August 2 is a special day for Habu Snake's Day in Okinawa World, where we usually benefit from Habu Snake.
And on this day, we also hold a "Habu Snake memorial service" to thank Habu Snake.

Thank you very much, Mr. Habu Snake.

Habu Snake is scary, but special in part of nature.
August 2 is Habu Snake's Day.
I hope that as many people as possible will be able to think about the understanding of Habu Snake and the coexistence of Habu Snake and humans.

■The Habu Snake memorial service has been held since the construction of the Tenja Kannon in Habu Museum Park in 1982.
■From 1992, August 2 was designated as Habu Snake's Day, and staff from Habu Snake, including Habu Museum Park and Nanto Brewery, participated in the annual Habu Snake memorial service.
■From 2012, August 2 will be published in the Okinawa Notebook as "Habu Snake Day".
■In 2017, it was officially recognized as "Habu Snake Day" by the Japan Anniversary Association, and it is a new anniversary of Okinawa.
