Kunigami Forest Park: Facilities
Kunigami Forest Park has many facilities to help families and visitors of all ages enjoy what Okinawans call the nuchi-gusui (“elixir of life”) of the Yambaru forest.
The multipurpose area is used for sports and other activities. Visitors can pitch tents around its edges and enjoy stunning views of the night sky made possible by the absence of light pollution.
The three wooden bungalows, which can accommodate eight to ten adults, offer showers, toilets, electricity, and an outdoor grill (charcoal not supplied). The five quirky treetop houses are suitable for smaller groups and families, and comfortably sleep three to four adults. Although treetop-house guests must use the nearby toilet/shower block, the houses have electricity, and a grill is located in the special shelter area below each house.
The car-camping site is conveniently located near the cooking area and toilet/shower block, while the camping platforms are deeper into the forest. These sites do not have electricity, and no fires, fireworks, or pets are permitted.
The recreation area is used for large festivals and events. It includes a playground with a 30-meter slide and an observation deck with panoramic views of the East China Sea and the surrounding forest.
