Plan description

The mangrove of the Oura River, which pours into Oura Bay, is one of the largest in Okinawa and is said to be in the best preserved condition in Okinawa. It is said that the richness of Oura Bay is due to the nutrients in the Yanbaru Forest slowly permeating the sea through the mud. We will guide you not only about the ecology of plants and small animals with mangroves, but also about the relationship between the Yanbaru forest and the sea ♪ Please enjoy the blissful time surrounded by the greenery of the mangroves and Yanbaru forest. ～ Flow of the day ～ ① We will meet at the parking lot on the promenade side of Wansaka Oura Park. Please contact the guide. 5 minutes ② Listen to a brief explanation about mangroves and enter the promenade. 5 minutes ③ Listen to explanations from the guide about small animals such as crabs and plants such as mangroves in various places. 50 minutes ④ At the final point of the promenade, take a break and tour the subsidence bridge. 10 minutes ⑤ Go back to Wansaka Oura Park through the promenade or Oura village, and you're done.
