Kunigami
Okinawa Prefecture, Okinawa Island, north of Mt. Yomitan (201m) near the Ishikawa Isthmus, in the central part of Okinawa Island, accounts for two-thirds of the island. The center is Nago City. Also known as Yanbaru, most of the area is mountainous and blessed with nature, with many scenic spots, but compared to the area south, "northern development" is in demand.
