There's an easier way to get to the spring if you have children or a walking impairment. Luckily, Google allowed me to pin the location of the parking lot as it wasn't on the map when I went sometime early last month.
By parking at the site above, you can access the spring by walking straight in and avoiding a hike down upon arrival and a steep hill up when you leave.
Once you exit your car, you'll see the sign and a trail that guides you right into the spring without breaking too much of a sweat, besides from Okinawa's own heat; but, there's plenty of shade and cool water in the spring for that.
Pros: You'll get an additional, awesome, view of the Pacific Ocean taking this route in too!
Con: You won't be able to easily access a restroom as shown in the blog post without hiking up and back down. You'll need to get in your car and go to the park on the corner at the top of the hill or politely ask the community center kittycorner to it to use theirs.
