    • Mountain climbing・Hiking
    Yambaru Discovery Forest is an immersive nature-based lodging and educational facility located in Kunigami Village, within the World Natural Heritage area of northern Okinawa. Once a former U.S. military training site, it has been transformed into a peaceful space where visitors can learn, play, and reconnect with the rich forests of Yambaru. The facility is divided into two zones: a “Learning Zone” and a “Recreation Zone.” The Learning Zone includes nature trails, an exhibition room, and a seminar hall with lodging—perfect for environmental education, training programs, and academic retreats. The Recreation Zone features an athletic field and auto-camping area, ideal for families and groups to enjoy the outdoors. With no TVs or noisy electronics in the rooms, guests can fully unwind in the quiet of the forest. Whether it’s stargazing under a clear night sky or listening to the sounds of the subtropical woods, this is a place to engage all five senses and truly connect with nature.
