Discover Yambaru ~ Nakayama Coffee Farm
Nakayama Coffee & Herb Garden in the rich natural environment of Yambaru
Nakayama Coffee Garden is located in the mountains about 20 minutes from the Nago City.
Coffee and herbs are cultivated in a farm surrounded by the nature of Yambaru, and workshop spaces such as a cafe, a kitchen space, and a harvest experience have been cerated. A new camp area has been created to connect with people from all over the world who love coffee and Okinawa. We are creating 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.

The farm is located in the subtropical, nature-rich mountains of Yambaru, where lizards are in abundance and ferns grow thick and wild birds and butterflies fly around. For coffee cultivation, we utilize the slopes and valleys of this forest, a natural windbreak that is not easily affected by typhoons, and do not use any pesticides.
Yui Maru Herb Garden is also part of the farm. The warm climate of Okinawa is perfect for herb cultivation. For tea time, you can harvest herbs, blending together various kinds, and then enjoy it for your own tea. There are about 100 kinds of various herbs such as butterfly pea, coastal hot fennel (parsley family), roselle, piparts, lemon myrtle, as well as tropical Okinawan medicinal herbs and fruit trees which can all be experienced with your five senses.
At the Oriental Hotel Club Lounge you can enjoy an original blend of Okinawan coffee beans harvested at the coffee farm. This coffee blend is also provided as an amenity in our Club Rooms.
