Around Fukujigawa Seaside Park Beach
Activities in Higashi Village
Higashi Village offers plenty of activities built around the nature of Yanbaru.
Everyone from adults to children can get out into Okinawa’s wilder side, so they are well worth trying.
A rental car is the way to go in Okinawa
For sightseeing on Okinawa’s main island, a rental car is by far the best option.
Shuri Castle in Naha, the beautiful beaches up north, American Village in Chatan – the places worth seeing are scattered across the island, and having a car lets you explore at your own pace. Buses are infrequent and rarely run on time, so having a car makes a real difference to the trip.
Cars book up quickly in peak season, so reserve as soon as your dates are set.

Michi-no-Eki Sunrise Higashi is a roadside station selling local produce and souvenirs from Higashi Village.
