The limestone at the northern tip of Okinawa was laid down about two hundred and fifty million years ago and has weathered into a subtropical karst landscape — pinnacles, towers and slots of rock, with banyan and cycad growing out of them. There is nothing else like it in Japan, because Japan does not generally have karst in a subtropical climate.

The mountain is also Asumui, one of the oldest sacred sites in Ryukyuan belief, named in the creation accounts as a place the gods descended. It has been visited for that reason far longer than it has been a park. Four marked routes run through it, including one that is genuinely barrier-free, and it sits inside Yanbaru National Park. The operator rebranded the site as Asumui Hikes and prices moved with the rebrand, so confirm the current fee before travelling.

인사이더 가이드

**Confirm the price before you drive up.** The site was rebranded and restructured and quoted admission ranges widely between sources. It is ninety minutes from the expressway; ring first. **Pick a route on arrival.** Four are marked, from a short barrier-free loop to the full stone forest circuit. Doing all of them takes several hours; most visitors do one or two. **Treat it as a sacred site.** Asumui appears in Ryukyuan creation accounts and there are prayer places on the mountain. Signage indicates where not to go. **Combine with Cape Hedo.** The northernmost point of the main island is ten minutes further up the same road, and doing both is what a day in Kunigami is for. **Reception closes at four.** The site is open until half past five but you cannot start after four.
