Forest of Residents' State Park (Kenmin-no-Mori) -- A beginners trail map to get you started:
Questions about this place keep popping up, so I decided to adopt a local trail map with some overlaid notes and post it for this group. Intentionally simple, it leaves plenty of room for you to discover a lot on your own.
Auto roads are in white, hiking trails are in colors.
This family park for sports, hiking, camping, and nature walks is open to all during daylight hours only.
♦ CLOSED ON MONDAYS!
NOTE: "Closed" means the auto roads are closed. On those days, you must find parking somewhere else, and walk in... which will add another mile or more to any hike or walk you take.
If you like peaks with a view, the expansive coastline along the East China Sea is great from the top of Meh-Yama (also called Atta-Dake) --- along the Mountain Top Trail, which is accessible from many side trails. The trail along the ridgeline was made in such a way that you get a great view looking south from one spot, and a great view north from another spot.
As I note on the map, there is over 4 km of trails.
There are lots to see and do there. If you have kids, bring 'em along. Ice cream, drinks, and snacks at the Camp Store if they are open. Always lots of fun before or after a hike

♥ KID'S NATURE MUSEUM (Sparse Displays, but good for a quick break, along with some buttons to push, and listen to the sounds of Okinawa's different Birds and Cicadas) --- Right across from the "SCIENCE MUSEUM" which has more displays along the same lines: https://goo.gl/maps/u3znnH9udrH2
Cheers!
