About Bios Hill
Experience nature activities that nurture the soul in the subtropical forest where ferns grow densely.
Details
Located in Uruma City, central Okinawa Prefecture, the natural botanical garden is easily accessible from the Onna Village resort area. The garden features vast forests abundant with ferns and stunning orchids, preserving a unique subtropical natural environment.
Within the garden, there are several experiences themed around "Nurturing the Spirit through Nature," among which the "Jungle Cruise" is highly recommended. Visitors can take a boat ride along a winding 1-kilometer lakeside route under the guidance of a tour leader at the bow of the boat. Riding in a water buffalo-drawn cart, leisurely exploring the garden is also a worthwhile experience.
The most popular activity in the central Great Dragon Pond is the canoeing experience, which is easy for beginners to join. While paddling on the lake, participants can enjoy observing the precious flora and fauna unique to the subtropical region.
After a day of fun, it is recommended to visit the restaurant "Omoro Chaya (おもろ茶屋)" to enjoy local delicacies such as Okinawa ramen and taco rice. The attached "Bios no Oka Garden Center" features farm-fresh Western orchids, air plants, and ornamental plants. Shipping is available throughout Japan (limited to within Japan), so those looking to purchase unique Okinawa souvenirs should not miss out.
