#okinawanature #gangalavalley #japantravel #nanjowonders The Valley of Gangala - a place where traces of ancient people remain. The site is only accessible by guided tour; it's recommended to book a day in advance on the official website for your desired date and time. However, we were accepted on the same day. Tours run every 20 minutes and last approximately an hour. The language is Japanese, but you'll be given printed English guides before you leave. You'll be given a detailed explanation of the origins of the trees and archaeological discoveries in the area, as well as the remains of the ancient Minatogawa people found here and their way of life during that time. This place has preserved its pristine nature and an incredible subtropical forest. Entrance is 2,500 yen, plus you can buy unlimited drinks for 500 yen at the café while you wait for your turn on the tour - guava juice, mango juice, coffee, and tea. The trails themselves are well-maintained, and you'll be given a thermos of delicious iced tea and insect repellent.
