Overview

Asumui Hikes Walking Through the Forest of Asumui, Where Ryukyuan Myths Breathe Located in the northernmost part of the Okinawa Main Island and embraced by the lush nature of Yanbaru, "Asumui" is a chain of four rocky peaks. According to legend, this is the very first sacred site created by Amamiku, the creator goddess of Ryukyu. "Asumui Hikes" is an experiential hiking tour that takes you through the forest sprawling across the mountainsides. As you walk guided by an audio commentary, you will uncover the tales of Ryukyuan mythology and the history behind how this land has been carefully preserved through the ages. Designated as a Special Protection Zone within the National Park, the area boasts one of the largest communities of cycad trees in Okinawa Prefecture, majestic giant Banyan trees, and fantastic rock formations sculpted by nature over countless years. The moment you step into the forest, you will be enveloped in a profound serenity and mystical atmosphere that gently puts your mind at ease. Where nature and myth tenderly intertwine, the forest of Asumui promises to bestow a truly memorable and special moment upon your journey.
