Kunigami Forest Park: Walking Trails
Kunigami Forest Park is crisscrossed with walking trails, from easy strolls to meditative hikes. None of the walks require special equipment.
Floral Road (150m)
A lakeside path where flowers in season can be observed along the trail.
Teahouse Trail (500m)
An easy ramble past the “teahouse” huts and camping platforms toward an old kiln once used to make charcoal.
Lakeside Stroll (230m)
An extended detour off Teahouse Trail to photogenic Lake Hentona, crossing a floating bridge and passing through a tranquil island grove.
Itajii Trail (360m)
A pleasantly winding and hilly hike through the distinctive evergreen itajii trees of the Yambaru forest. Great for quiet contemplation of the scenery, as it is far from the campsites and accommodation.
Colorful Ramble (450m)
An easy trail between the bungalows and the multipurpose area. Also adjoins Local Pride Forest, which is planted with native flora like itajii, needlewood trees, and Japanese camellias.
Camellia Way (350m)
A level and accessible circuit around the camellia grove. Best viewed in January or February when the blossoms are at their peak.
Shady Stroll (340m)
A cool, peaceful trail that leads uphill, emerging at the recreation area by the observation deck.
