Okinawa Prefecture Climbing

Okinawa prefecture consists of several islands, the largest of which is also named "Okinawa" (not to be confused with the city "Okinawa" which is also on the island of Okinawa). Though there are potential climbing areas on several other islands, the only island known to have routes open to the public at the time of writing is the main island of Okinawa.

Japan in general, Okinawa included, tends to have a pretty rough history with access issues. Several areas have been permanently closed due to preventable conflicts. Please be respectful, and if at all possible, reach out to the local climbing communities before hitting up the crags/boulders. We'll try to keep Mountain Project up to date with these restrictions/issues, but we are active on Facebook where you can also find an abundant amount of current information.
