Fatos rápidos: The forest here covers about 290 square kilometers and hosts over 80% of Okinawa's endemic plant species. The area is a crucial habitat for the Okinawa woodpecker, a bird found nowhere else on Earth.
Destaques: Rare Ryukyu pine trees reach up to 30 meters, creating a cathedral-like canopy overhead. Streams cascade down mossy rocks, producing a tranquil natural soundtrack rarely heard outside this part of the island.
