    Okinawa Pref. Kunigamigunkunigamison Hiji 781-1
    In Kunigami Village in the northern part of Okinawa’s main island is a 26-meter-tall waterfall, the biggest in the prefecture. The sight of the white splashing water will make you think of a subtropical oasis. There’s a walkway leading to the waterfall, and it takes approximately 40 minutes to reach it. The walkway features many steep slopes owing to the wooden staircases and bridges, so watch your step. Many precious plants flourish around the waterfall, and you may spot wildlife such as shrimps, crabs, and gobies.

  • Mariyudu Waterfall

    Okinawa Pref. Yaeyamaguntaketomichou Uebaru
    Mariyudu Waterfall is located upstream of the Urauchi River on Iriomote Island in Okinawa Prefecture, which has been selected as one of the 100 best Japanese waterfalls. Mari means “round” and Yudu means “Stagnation”, and as this name suggests, one of its characteristic is that the basin under the waterfall is round. You will arrive at the waterfall by walking about 40 minutes through the jungle from the sightseeing boat’s upstream docking station, but be careful as it can be slippery.

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.
