Yonabaru Oyakawa — photo spot in 556 Yonabaru, Shimajiri District, Okinawa 901-1303, Japan
Yonabaru Oyakawa
Yonabaru Oyakawa is a shallow estuarine channel and mangrove-fringed river in southern Okinawa — great for reflections, colorful fishing boats, wading birds and dramatic sunset light over calm water. Visit at low tide for exposed mudflats and bird activity; golden hour (sunrise/sunset) yields warm sidelight and long reflections. Easily reached by road from Yonabaru town; limited roadside parking. Respect local fishermen and quiet residential areas—no formal entry fees.
