JUNGLIA OKINAWA, a roughly 60-hectare park (about the size of 13 Tokyo Domes), opened in July 2025 in the jungle of northern Okinawa and was developed with KATANA, the marketing firm behind Universal Studios Japan's turnaround. Before you buy, know this: the park has two prices, and as an overseas visitor you will almost always pay the higher one.
Here is what you actually need to sort out before you fly: which ticket to buy, how to buy it from abroad, and how to reach the park from Naha. The prices below are what the official site showed in September 2026; theme-park ticket prices can change, so check the official page again before you pay.
As a tourist you pay ¥8,800 for a one-day ticket, not the ¥6,930 residents pay. The lower price requires proof of a Japanese address, which you will not have, so budget for the tourist rate.
The two prices, explained
JUNGLIA sets ticket prices by where you live, not your nationality. People who live in Japan get a discounted rate; visitors coming from abroad pay more. The gap on a standard one-day ticket is just under ¥1,900, a little over 25 percent.
Ticket | Overseas visitor | Japan resident |
|---|---|---|
1 Day (Park only), adult | ¥8,800 | ¥6,930 |
1 Day (Park & Spa), adult | ¥11,550 | ¥9,240 |
Quick Visit (one ride), adult | ¥3,190 | ¥2,970 |
Spa only, adult | ¥3,080 | ¥2,640 |
Children aged 4 to 11 pay less on every ticket, and children under 3 enter free.
To get the resident price you have to show proof of a Japanese address at the gate, such as a driver's license or residence card. A tourist cannot produce this, so in practice you should plan on the ¥8,800 rate. The exception is a foreign resident of Japan with a residence card, who qualifies for the lower price.
One more cost to budget for: a ¥150 bathing tax for adults applies to any ticket that includes the spa (Park & Spa, or the spa on its own), on top of the prices above.
Which pass to choose
Most visitors want the 1 Day (Park only) ticket, which covers full-day admission. The 1 Day (Park & Spa) adds access to the hillside spa and its infinity bath — worth it if you want to slow down at the end of the day, but remember the ¥150 tax.
If your schedule is tight, the Quick Visit ticket includes about three hours in the park and one main attraction, for roughly a third of the full price. JUNGLIA also sells a top-tier Royal ticket with premium perks, but its price is listed only on the Japanese (resident) page and does not appear on the English checkout, so treat its cost and availability for overseas visitors as unconfirmed. It is also the only ticket whose date cannot be changed after purchase, and because it includes the spa, the ¥150 bathing tax applies.
Separate from all of these is the Premium Pass, an add-on that buys priority entry to the busiest attractions. It starts at ¥1,870 for a single pass and ¥3,630 for a set, and, unlike admission, it costs the same for everyone no matter where you live. On a crowded day it can cut your time in line significantly, so it is the upgrade to consider.
How to buy from overseas
Start on the official English site, JUNGLIA OKINAWA tickets. Each ticket is for a specific date: you pick the day you plan to visit when you buy. Overseas credit cards work.
Every ticket except the Royal can have its date changed for free, so there is no downside to booking your day before you leave home.
The English checkout is handled through Klook, so you can also buy the same ticket on the Klook app if you already use it. Because entry is tied to a date and tickets for popular periods fill up, lock in your day rather than hoping to buy at the gate; the park does not promise same-day tickets.
While you are sorting out the trip, it also helps to set up a Japan eSIM before you land so you can pull up your ticket QR code and shuttle times without hunting for Wi-Fi in the north of the island.
How to get there from Naha Airport
The park sits in northern Okinawa, in the area around Nakijin and Nago, and there is no train to it. From Naha Airport it is roughly an hour and a half by car, which is why a rental car is the simplest option. There is paid parking at the park (free for the first 30 minutes, charged after that; the site does not publish the exact rate), plus a partner lot about ten minutes away.
If you would rather not drive, JUNGLIA runs the reserved JUNGLIA Express shuttle directly from Naha Airport to the park, with no transfers. Seats and departures are limited, so reserve ahead and check the official site for the current timetable and fare.
Most travelers base themselves in Naha on arrival and drive up, or stay along the west coast closer to the park.

Before you go: hours, closures, and weather
JUNGLIA does not post a single fixed opening time. Hours vary by season and crowd levels, so check the official calendar or app for your date. Some outdoor attractions wind down at sunset, and the spa's last entry is an hour before closing. From January 2027, Mondays are planned as the regular maintenance day (outside holidays and peak periods), so avoid a Monday if you can.
As an outdoor park in the jungle, JUNGLIA is vulnerable to the weather: typhoons can close it for the whole day, and September is the peak of typhoon season in Okinawa. Build a little slack into your plans and keep an eye on the forecast.
Since you will be outside all day, pack for the weather: northern Okinawa is hot and humid from September into October, often above 30°C, so light, breathable clothes, sun protection, rain gear, and comfortable walking shoes are the practical essentials.
