🚍 Getting There, Transportation Tips, and Local Insights
Okinawa’s latest and biggest attraction, Jungliera (ジャングリア), is set to open on July 25, 2025 in the northern part of the main island (near Nago City).
Think of it as a jungle-themed theme park meets island resort, surrounded by nature and packed with fun for families, couples, and thrill-seekers alike.
