Time Travel to the Dinosaur Era! An Overwhelming World Experience
The greatest appeal of JUNGLIA Okinawa lies in its incredibly detailed world-building. The entire park is covered by a massive jungle, creating an experience that feels like you’ve truly traveled back to the dinosaur age. True to their catchphrase “A journey of excitement and luxury begins,” visitors reportedly feel transported to another world from the moment they enter.
Heart-Pounding Attractions Galore
Escape from T-REX
One of the park’s flagship attractions is “Escape from T-REX.” You get to run away from realistically recreated dinosaurs – it’s like stepping into a movie. This attraction truly delivers on its promise of “extreme excitement,” offering a full-adrenaline experience.
360° Natural Panorama Float
The “360° Natural Panorama Float – An Exclusive Luxury Trip” lets you enjoy Okinawa’s beautiful nature from the air in a full 360-degree experience. With a bird-like floating sensation, you can take in panoramic views of Okinawa’s blue ocean and lush green landscape – truly a luxurious experience.
Jungle Buggy Adventure
The “Heart-Racing Jungle Buggy Experience” allows you to actually drive through the jungle in a buggy. Described as a “challenging course that tests your technique through untamed nature,” it offers a genuine adventure experience that awakens your spirit of exploration.
Water Fun at Its Finest
The “Soaking Wet Wild Festival!” offers exactly what the name promises – you’re guaranteed to get drenched in this refreshing water attraction. Playing with water in Okinawa’s hot climate sounds incredibly liberating and refreshing.
Guinness World Record Infinity Pool
Particularly noteworthy is the “largest infinity pool” that was officially recognized by Guinness World Records™ on January 31, 2025. True to its concept of “luxury soaking in scenic views, tropical blue skies and deep green nature,” this is a fantastical pool where the water surface appears to extend infinitely. Relaxing here while taking in Okinawa’s breathtaking scenery truly embodies their description of “a tropical paradise oasis that satisfies all five senses with luxury.”
Embracing Okinawan Character
Throughout the park, you can meet “Jan,” a mascot based on the Okinawan endemic bird, the Yanbarukuina (Okinawa Rail). Visitors can enjoy “fun conversations with the curious Yanbarukuina,” allowing them to fully experience Okinawan culture.
Even transportation is part of the fun, with “exciting tram rides where you play instruments – make way for the cheerful tram!” turning park navigation into an enjoyable event.
Dining with a View
Restaurants operating under the concept of “the finest scenery and cuisine from premium seats” offer dining experiences where you can savor delicious Okinawan cuisine while overlooking jungle vistas. True to their description as “restaurants where you dine on spectacular views,” these venues provide luxurious dining experiences that satisfy both taste and visual senses.
Spectacular Nighttime Entertainment
The fun continues after sunset. With fireworks shows where “countless vividly colored flowers bloom in the tropical night sky” and “passionate tropical beat live performances,” the nighttime entertainment is equally impressive. These shows “conclude Okinawan nights with passionate finales of excitement and emotion,” providing moving experiences perfect for ending your day.
