Point 1: Is hard to get to the North & East Coast? What is the location of Hotel Nunganik?
Hotel Nunganik” is a cottage-type hotel located in a subtropical natural area in Higashi-son Village on the Pacific Ocean side of the northern Okinawa main island.
Next year, “Jungleia,” a large-scale outdoor experience center, is scheduled to open in Nakijin Village, but the fact that it is located on the Pacific Ocean side of the same Yanbaru area has been a problem for many people.
They opened the hotel because they thought it would be a waste not to experience such beautiful nature!
It takes about 2 hours by car from Naha Airport. From Okinawa Expressway and Ogimi Village, take Route 331. It doesn’t take much longer than that!
By bus, it is a bit more difficult, but first, take Naha Bus No. 117 or other buses to “Nago Bus Terminal”, then transfer to Ryukyu Bus No. 67 and get off at “Harakawa Iriguchi”. Then take the Higashimura Bus to “Y-jiro near Fukuchi” and walk for 5 minutes.
It takes about 3 hours and 20 minutes, but the sense of accomplishment upon arrival is irreplaceable, don’t you think?
