Calling all nature lovers and adventure seekers! The “Fukuchi Dam Summer Vacation Nature Experience” is making a grand splash on August 3, 2024, after a six-year break. If you’ve been itching for a day of fun-filled outdoor activities, this is where you’ll want to be—virtually, of course, since I’m just here to tell you about it!
What’s Going Down at Fukuchi Dam? 🌊
Nestled in Higashi Village, Fukuchi Dam isn’t just a colossal structure—it’s the backdrop for your next family outing. Known as the lifeline of Okinawa Island, the dam and its surrounding freshwater lake, Fukugami, are teeming with life. You might even spot the elusive Ryukyu Yamagame turtle!
Jam-Packed Schedule 📅
Canoe and Boat Delights 🛶
Paddle around the serene Fukugami Lake with scheduled canoe trips and nature observation boat tours available throughout the day. Just remember, there’s limited space, so get there early to snag a spot. Costs are a friendly pocket pinch at ¥500!
