Urauchi River
浦内川Okinawa
Okinawa's longest river — a jungle waterway dubbed the "Amazon of Japan" that you ascend by boat before trekking through primeval forest to its hidden waterfalls. Typhoon season runs roughly June to October, and a passing storm can cancel ferries, flights and all marine activity across the islands at a day's notice — check the forecast before you rely on this stop.
