Daisekirinzan, Karst formation in Kunigami, Japan.

The limestone formations of Daisekirinzan extend across elevated terrain, featuring multiple walking paths through diverse rock structures and subtropical vegetation.

The limestone layers at Daisekirinzan emerged through natural processes 250 million years ago, forming the northernmost tropical karst landscape on Earth.

The site contains 40 places of worship, including Asumu Utaki, connected to Amamikyo, the deity of Ryukyu Islands creation mythology.

The park opens daily from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM, charging 1200 yen for adults and offering four different walking courses with varying difficulty levels.

Rare species inhabit the grounds, including the orange Tsumabeni butterfly and Okinawa Kinobori lizard, which visitors can observe along the trails.
