    初めての沖縄旅行でしたが、那覇空港から2時間車を飛ばして14時からの3時間コースに参加しました。68歳の夫婦なので多少の不安はありましたが、くにごんさんの丁寧な説明と細やかな配慮のお陰でとても楽しい時間でした。慶佐次川のマングローブと海の両方行けて良かったです。本当有難うございました！

    Okinawa Pref. Kunigamigunkunigamison Aha 1301-7
    The Yambaru Forest is located in Kunigami Village on Okinawa’s main island and offers visitors a chance to experience the natural wonders of the island. The facility is divided into two zones: The “Discovery Zone,” where visitors can observe aquatic plants and wildlife, and the “Active Zone,” which features a camp and physical activity space in the midst of nature. The nature trail is highly recommended. A 1.5-kilometer stroll along the trail will bring you to a suspension bridge and an observation tower from which you can admire the subtropic surroundings. Various types of tours are available as well, including a guided walking tour, canoeing, and birdwatching.

    施設に入るときは靴も消毒します。ヤンバルクイナは沖縄には２０００匹ほどはいるそうです。案内のお姉さんが可愛い人でまた行きたくなる。

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
