What are some of the most beautiful hiking trails on Okinawa island? Distance and difficulty aren’t issues! I’m looking to explore more of the island 😊
I haven’t done any hiking in Okinawa but as a general tool for getting hiking info in Japan, I highly recommend the Yamap smartphone app. You need a subscription to use all the features but there is a free version that lets you download up to 2 maps at a time. You can view other people’s hikes that they’ve uploaded and see which ones are popular and view photos and whatnot. I do a lot of hiking in Kyushu and it’s opened up a whole new world and allowed me to explore areas I’d never have thought to go before.
If you don’t want to download the app or create an account, you can still view people’s uploads and get info on routes on their [website](https://yamap.com/).
