Japan has become a bucket-list destination for more and more travellers in recent years.
And for those seeking to combine a trip to the far east with an unforgettable experience a new nature-immersive theme park, Junglia Okinaw, is set to open in Okinawa in July.
Offering visitors the chance to experience cutting-edge attractions and family-friendly entertainment in the heart of the prefecture’s Yambaru Forest – the northern part of the Yambaru area is famous for its UNESCO World Heritage status and breathtaking natural landscape.
Developed by Japan Entertainment Inc and built on the site of a former golf course, Junglia Okinawa’s design and concept is heavily inspired by the region’s spectacular subtropical rainforests.
Stand-out attractions will include a gas-balloon ride where guests can take in spectacular views from forest to sea, a dinosaur safari which will whisk passengers through the savannah to meet the park’s prehistoric inhabitants and atre-top trekking experience across a jungle suspension bridge.
A luxurious spa and fine dining will add to the resort’s natural attractions.
The Yambaru Forest is a distinctive area in the north of Okinawa’s main island, rich with subtropical evergreen forests, mangroves and limestone mountains.
