Roadside Station: Yanbaru Pineapple Hill Aha

Your journey through Yanbaru begins here. Close your eyes for a moment, and imagine: a single road emerging from deep within the forest, opening at last onto a gentle hill. That hill is called [Yanbaru Pineapple Hill Aha](https://woud.io/ypa/ja). It is the first harbor of arrival — one you can only reach if you have ventured all the way to Aha, in the village of Kunigami, tucked into the farthest reaches of the east coast of northern Okinawa.

Travelers who once passed through these forests must surely have paused here too, catching their breath on the hilltop as the vast green of Yanbaru stretched endlessly before them. By the time you finish listening to these words, the wind will be moving through the pineapple fields on the hill at Aha. Take a deep breath now. From this moment, your journey into the heart of Yanbaru begins to move. The road has only just started.
