Why Hill of Bios?

Hill of Bios is really special because there aren't many areas
in Japan with the land and capability to make such a place
even if they wanted to!!!
You get to experience a-whole-nother side to Okinawa
that even not many Japanese people know about.
We recommend Hill of Bios to those
who want a break from the beaches!
Get to know a different side to Okinawa.
