Nakayama Coffee Garden: Discover Yambaru~Okinawan Coffee
Nakayama Coffee Garden is located in the mountains about 20 minutes from Nago City.
Coffee and herbs are cultivated at a farm surrounded by nature in Yambaru, and workshop spaces such as a cafe and a kitchen space have been created. You can also experience harvesting for yourself. A new camp area has been set up in order to be able to connect with people from all over the world who love coffee and Okinawa. It is a new arena of creativity!
The over 30,000 sqm. site is quietly nestled in a forest full of hego (spider monkey trees) and itajii, and coffee was planted in what was originally a citrus field. The shady location provides suitable conditions for cultivating coffee and delicious coffee beans are harvested here.
