About Bise
Bise is a well known attraction with roads lined with Fukugi trees and its “power spot” (a spot believed to energize or help heal people), Warumi of Bise – a crack of sandy road in between 2 giant rocks that leads to a beautiful beach.
Bise is near Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium as well, so be sure to stop by after visiting the aquarium if you have time.
Recommendation
Rent bicycles for cheap (2 hours for 300¥) and go on a relaxing joy ride around the area.
Access to Bise / Data
Bise is only 1 kilometer away from Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium.
After riding either the Yanbaru Express Bus or Okinawa Airport Limousine Bus to Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, it’s recommended to walk or take a taxi.
Buses are not practical as there are only 4 to 5 buses a day.
Sightseeing
Fukugi Tree Road
20,000 Fukugi trees were planted to protect houses The picturesque olden days of Okinawa remain in the Bise area.
Evidence of that are the 20,000 Fukugi trees that were planted to protect houses from typhoons and storms.
Many of the trees are around 300 years old and wherever you look roads are lined with endless rows of Fukugi trees – like a tunnel of greenery, encompassing the village.
The unpaved white sandy road coupled with sunlight shining through the rows of Fukugi trees create a warm and serene atmosphere perfect for a stroll that’ll surely make you feel good.
Just watch out for those mosquitos, there are quite a few of them.
Keep in mind as you stroll along that the village was not built for tourism purposes, it’s where people actually reside, so don’t go wandering into people’s properties or peer through their homes.
Follow manners and avoid going off the track.
You can ride a water buffalo oxcart for ¥2,000 (up to 4 people), quite reasonable, so if you have the right number of people enjoy riding around the roads of Fukugi trees.
Approx. time it takes: 20 min.

Warumi of Bise
A sanctuary spot where a kami (god) once descended and stood, and now considered a power spot for those in the know.
If you walk a bit into a thicket you will soon come across 2 large rocks and a white sandy path leading you to the sea; blue skies and a beautiful ocean opens up as you pass through the cliffs.
The view is amazing.
If you plan to visit, make sure to check when it’s low tide.
Warumi (the crack) opens up only during low tide.
Also, the entrance to Bise no Warumi (the crack) can be quite difficult to find.
Search Google map for “Warumi of Bise” and you’ll get a good idea of where the entrance is
If all else fails, ask a local, and if that doesn’t work, give up.
