Located along the national highway in the Yanbaru area, there is a free parking lot, so it is easy to access. We recommend that you visit when you pass by. There is a mangrove community just upstream of the national highway, and there is a walking path without taking a kayaking tour, so you can observe it from land. The sea side downstream of the national highway is a tidal flat and there are no protected mangroves, so some people are fishing and it has a peaceful atmosphere.

Near the mouth of the river, there was Higashimura Fureai Hirugi Park, from which a promenade stretched through the mangrove (Hirugi forest). I was able to observe the roots of the cypress, which branched like octopus legs (?) From the immediate vicinity. It seems that you can also take a canoe to observe the mangroves from the park.

It's one of the largest mangroves on the main island.
