The Yanbaru Region – Lush Green Forests and wildlife.

Okinawa may be famous for its beaches, but head north of the Okinawa main island and you’ll find yourself at the Yanbaru region – a rich ecosystem that’s home to lush green forests, mangroves, waterfalls, and endemic wildlife.

It’s the perfect place to escape from city life and reconnect with mother nature. 

Explore the idyllic area with easy hikes or kayak tours as you try and spot the endangered and elusive Yanbaru Kuina, a flightless bird that’s the symbol of Yanbaru.
