Kunigami, Rural village in northern Okinawa Island, Japan.
The village territory extends over 194 square kilometers, with 80 percent covered in subtropical evergreen forests between the East China Sea and Pacific Ocean.
The village establishment occurred on April 1, 1908, following the dissolution of Kunigami magiri, marking a shift in local administrative organization.
The Uzahama archaeological site contains Jomon-period ceramics that demonstrate early cultural connections between Kunigami and the Amami Islands.
Visitors reach the village via a three-hour drive from Naha on the Okinawa Expressway, passing through changing landscapes from coastal to mountainous terrain.
Mount Yonaha rises 503 meters as the highest point in the village, surrounded by protected forests where Okinawa woodpeckers and Okinawa rails maintain their populations.
