JUNGLIA,” a new nature-themed theme park, is scheduled to open in Okinawa in 2025, featuring 30,000 trees planted on an old golf course. With a 70 billion yen investment from local businesses, the park aims to attract international tourists, offering jungle adventures, balloon rides, dinosaur attractions, and a spa. Development started in February 2023, with further plans to include a park with Japanese anime themes. Led by Tsuyoshi Morioka of Katana, the project capitalizes on the recovering theme park industry, which has seen a surge in attendance and international visitors, nearing pre-COVID market sizes.
