[Okinawa] Yanbaru Pineapple Hill Anba: A Must-Have Rest Stop on a Drive!

Okinawa not only has the sea, but also many rich mountains. In the northern part of the main island of Okinawa, there is a large natural forest called "Yanbaru" that is listed as a World Natural Heritage Site. In this forest, there is a only cross-country road, Prefectural Road No. 2. It is also a popular driving route to cross this road from the west to the east. On the east side is the "Roadside Rest Station, Yamabara Pineapple Hill, Anba", which opened in 2022 and is the 10th roadside rest station in Okinawa. In addition to selling local specialties such as pineapples, there are also delicacies made with local ingredients. The facility also has an observatory with a swing and a view of the Pacific Ocean and the hill forest, a rest area where you can observe organisms and plants through glass, showers and laundry rooms, and a nursing room. It is perfect for taking a break between drives.
