Mount Yonaha

Japanese: 与那覇岳 - よなはだけ
Mount Yonaha

Located in Kunigami Village in the northern part of the main island, this is the highest peak on the island of Okinawa. It is 503 meters above sea level. Its gentle mountain shape (Jujun Mountains) is made of phyllite from the Nago Formation of the Mesozoic era, and is covered in subtropical natural forests. It is home to rare birds such as the Noguchi's woodpecker (prefectural bird), a nationally designated special natural monument, and the Okinawa rail, a national natural monument. The area is a nationally designated natural conservation area and part of Yanbaru National Park. There is a road from Okuma in Kunigami Village to near the summit.
