Yanbaru Kuina Ecological Exhibition and Learning Facility – Kuina no Mori is located in Ada, Kunigami Village, in northern Okinawa. It’s the only facility in Japan where you can observe a live Yanbaru Kuina—a rare, flightless bird found only in the Yambaru region and designated as a national natural monument. Inside the facility, you’ll find an observation area that replicates the bird’s natural habitat, allowing visitors to watch behaviors like bathing and walking—actions that are rarely seen in the wild. Some curious individuals even come right up to the glass, offering a close-up experience that delights both children and adults. The center also features engaging exhibits about the species’ ecology and environment, making it ideal for school trips, nature education, and sightseeing. Come and discover the hidden wonders of Yambaru’s forest and meet one of its most elusive residents.
