Junglia Okinawa

Having over 1,000 reviews and being only a 3-star rating says everything you need to know. By far the worst theme park experience I’ve ever had. The majority of the attractions were closed, and the few that were open had ridiculously long lines due to overselling tickets. Realistically, you could maybe get on one ride during your entire visit—if you were lucky. On top of that, the customer service was shockingly poor. When I arrived, I was told parking had to be registered in advance, despite the fact that their massive lot was half empty. What ultimately dropped this to a 2-star review was the park closing early because of weather, yet refusing to provide any kind of refund. I had no choice but to file a claim with my bank. This is definitely not the level of service you’d expect in Japan. The park itself is beautiful and unique, and it has a lot of potential—but only if management learns how to run it properly and treat customers with the respect they deserve.

Super fun and adventurous park! Everything went smoothly, including the shuttle from Naha City. Highly recommend getting the premium pass on Klook since the extreme rides sell out fast. Love that they provide umbrellas for sun or sudden rain, plus water stations around the park. Great experience overall!

Attractions are not too scary It's very safe. Mostly have restriction of height or some so might be able to enjoy if you are more than elementary scool. All washroom have aircondition that made us feel heaven when It's very hot (maybe cold too?)

Controversial! I visited last week (Sept 2025) with 3 boys (ages 9, 9 and 11), my wife and grandpa. We stayed from lunchtime till 5pm and the weather was a blistering 30+ degrees. My wife paid for the premium pass and booked in for 3 attractions using the mobile app: Dinosaur Safari, Junglia Splash Fes and Buggy Voltage. By the time we arrived all the other rides were already booked out so.. our plan worked and it would have sucked if you'd left the rides to chance! Location: We were staying near Churaumi Aquarium and the ride in the rental car took about 40mins or so. A fairly pleasant ride up into the mountains surrounded by lots of lush trees. Parking: We arrived at lunchtime and the free carpark was 80% empty. This might say something about patronage but the assistants were helpful and the flat walk to the entrance was quick and easy. Amenities: a huge plus was the free sunbrellas which we all used to avoid the blazing hot sun. Yes there is a fair amount of walking but no more than Disneyland, USJ or Haus ten bosch. We spotted plenty of shaded benches around the place to rest as well and there are also so air conditioned "resting rooms" where you can sit and wait before your next ride. You can also find plenty of water taps to refill your water bottles. Food: we didnt buy any food as we came after lunch but there was lots of food stalls dotted across the park as well as a couple of restaurants. Ride Reviews: - Buggy Voltage: our first ride and we took the basic adventure with pairings of adult+child on the ATV. The bad side was the amount of consent forms to fill out per person and the long wait. As you can imagine it takes some time to get everyone ready. You get to ride an actual ATV so you need to be an adult - you pretty much flick the switch to turn it on, change the gears and then enjoy your slow stop/start journey around a track as the lead driver turns back every 10s to see if everyone is doing ok. I would recommend the adrenalin challenge vs the adventure course as the adventure one is limited by the slowest/crappiest drivers near you who will slow everyone down. - Junglia Splash Fes: wow this was exactly what a park of hot sweaty people need! In front of a stage the performers put on a dance with pumping loud music and massive water guns. They encourage the audience to dance along and many teens and kids ran up to the front and took park in the music and water fun. We all got drenched and the kids loved it - it was basically a mini water concert. - Dinosaur Safari: this was the ride we were all waiting for. You join in on an adventure on one of 3 armed vehicles to chase down and capture some rampant t-rex's. This adventure had moments of adrenalin and the kids loved it the most. I know that there are some very exciting adult rides here but I asked my 9yo for his rating and he gave it a 4/5. He's been to USJ, Disneyland and Haus ten bosch in comparison and I was quite surprised but the premium pass meant that the wait times were more reasonable for the kids despite not being such "gold class" rides. My final words - you can tell that the park is still rough around the edges in many ways - particularly optimising queues, signage, ride processes etc. The park feels a bit sparse and feels like its missing some character/theming. I would have loved if they built more on rykyuan culture or okinawan animal/dinosaur history. It's not my favourite theme park in Okinawa but for the young kids or teens who are well prepared in advance and booked their rides it can be a great day or date location. Maybe in the cooler months. Overall I hope they improve as I would love for some benefits for the local economy!

I was really disappointed with my visit to this park. Many of the most exciting rides require you to enter a lottery, and the wait for the lottery results can take about an hour. We submitted our entries at 1 PM and again at 3 PM, but unfortunately, we didn’t get into any of the fun rides. Additionally, the extra tickets are quite expensive and not worth the cost. The waiting times for the other rides are at least 40 minutes and often longer, as everyone has to settle for those less exciting options. I do not recommend visiting this park.

my experience was extremely disappointing, and I believe I am entitled to a full refund. During my visit, I found that most of the exciting rides required entry into a lottery system, with wait times for lottery results often exceeding an hour. I entered the lottery at both 1 PM and 3 PM but did not gain access to any of the fun rides. This was incredibly frustrating, especially considering that many of the large attractions were closed throughout the day, further limiting my options. Additionally, I noticed that the cost of extra tickets was quite high, yet the overall experience did not reflect their value. The waiting times for other rides averaged at least 40 minutes, forcing visitors to choose from less exciting alternatives while the more popular attractions remained inaccessible. the experience did not meet the expectations set by the park's promotional materials.

Two hour wait for attractions and no food without onions or allium family food. I have an allergy to onions and I have low blood sugar. If I don’t eat normal food I might crash. Can’t eat too many sugary foods as well. They don’t even have the onions listed on their allergy sheets. They also won’t check if it has it in the sauce condiments or ingredients. Very disappointing the manager at the dine in at the spa wouldn’t check they don’t even know what is in the food they are serving. If they are putting poison in or not they can’t tell you. They said eat at your own risk. They also want up to 2000¥ per attraction if you want premium entry. Also if you weigh over 100 kilos you can’t ride the fun rides like the swing or the zip lines. You also might not fit some rides if you are 192 cm tall. The spa was full of loud kids jumping around splashing the water and kids were in the hot sauna. Can’t relax in peace. I would give this place a negative star review but the lowest you can put is one star.

I don’t usually post reviews like this, but having been to multiple theme parks — both in Japan and abroad — Junglia really let me down. Especially considering it’s a Japanese theme park, there’s a certain standard and level of expectation that comes with that reputation. It was extremely hot when we visited, which made the experience even tougher. The staff themselves were very kind and welcoming, but the overall foundation and management of the park just aren’t there yet. What kind of theme park limits access to rides even after you’ve already paid for admission? We arrived on the first bus from Naha City, yet there was already a long line at the Extreme Rides section. The staff even informed us that continuing to queue might be pointless because many rides were already sold out for the day — even though we had just entered. I’ve never seen that before at any park. Then came the biggest disappointment — the hot air balloon, which was one of the attractions we looked forward to most, wasn’t flying that day. So the rides we were most excited for were either unavailable or sold out. Everything had a long waiting time — the restaurant, the “free 30-minute club access” for foreign visitors (which also had another 30-minute wait just to enter). By 1 PM, we decided to finally line up for the main restaurant, hoping it would be less crowded by then. Instead, there were still around 30 groups ahead of us, and the food on display didn’t even look appealing. At that point, we were disappointed and starving, so we gave up, hauled a taxi, and ate at a restaurant outside the park instead. On top of that, prices inside the park were extremely expensive — both for merchandise and food. And honestly, most of the souvenirs and snacks were very low quality. We bought a shrimp cracker as a take-home snack, and when we tried it back home, it was terrible — easily one of the worst we’ve ever had. It genuinely felt like we got scammed out of our money. Even the popcorn we bought inside was hard as a rock and completely inedible — it tasted like it had been sitting out in the sun for hours, and we ended up throwing it away immediately. Every time we spoke to a staff member, they apologized for the bad experience — and honestly, none of this is their fault. They were doing their best, and they were genuinely kind. The real issue is how poorly managed and fundamentally flawed the park itself is. We did manage to ride the buggy and safari attractions, which were fine, but the overall mismanagement, overpriced goods, and lack of ride availability ruined the day. It’s a shame because the park has so much potential and the staff truly try their best — but it’s just extremely limited, overpriced, and poorly organized. If things don’t improve soon, I sadly wouldn’t be surprised if this park struggles to stay open. There are a million better things to do in Japan — this is definitely not one of them.
