A village that retains the rich charm of old Okinawa.
Kunigami Village is embraced by the lush Yanbaru Forest, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, and the vibrant coral reef sea.

A natural white sand beach, the emerald green East China Sea.
The blue of the coral reef and the deep green of the subtropics.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you will be healed by a location full of natural beauty.

Very close to Okuma Private Beach & Resort and the Yuiyui Kunigami Roadside Station. The casual style makes it easy to visit even with small children. Perfect for those who want to enjoy a relaxing Okinawan lunch or dinner.

The interior has warm white clay walls.
The use of old wood and Ryukyu Matsu creates an atmosphere that seems to be somewhere in the Mediterranean.
There is also a central table with driftwood art, three chaise-long tables, and seating for two.

Often called the “Galápagos of the East,” Yanbaru is a treasure trove of rare flora and fauna found nowhere else in the world.

After enjoying a variety of marine activities, trekking around waterfalls, and more, enjoy the bounty of nature to your heart’s content at OkuMasa.

We are also flexible in accommodating private events such as wedding after-parties.
For example, we may be able to host events even on our regular closed days.

Experts in Okinawa Ingredients

OkuMasa opened in June 2023.
The owner-chef is Masataka Arasaki, known for the reservation-only restaurant ShabuMasa.

ShabuMasa overturns the traditional shabu-shabu concept and mainly serves fresh island vegetables grown in Yanbaru. It has become popular among Okinawa repeat customers and shabu-shabu fans as a unique restaurant where you can enjoy seasonal island vegetables with special Agu.

At this new restaurant, we honor Okinawa’s traditions and food culture while striving to offer fresh, honest flavors rooted in the local community. We also aim to create new ways to enjoy island ingredients that go beyond what is possible with shabu-shabu alone.

Our foundation is the ingredients grown with care by the people of this island and the local culture they love. The islanders’ components, attitudes, and thoughts toward their work are taken into account, and the elements are taken seriously and reflected in the cuisine.

For both locals and guests from around the world, we spare no effort in our craftsmanship. With an artisan’s dedication and a warm, homely touch, we aim to deliver dishes that satisfy not just the appetite but also the heart.
