An effort to connect a green lifestyle with the next generation

Living harmoniously and understanding nature is Kanucha Resort`s motto. Therefore we would like to introduce our “environmental action” plans that connect the next generation with knowledge and understanding of the importance of the protection of the Yanbaru area and its nature.

We Strive to be A Recycle Oriented Resort

Kanucha Resort has been contributing to environmental protection and is the only resort on the main island of Okinawa who, on December 3, 2009, has received the international standard for environmental management systems (ISO14001). Electricity, gas and waste management are a given but Kanucha Resort is always trying to find a way to prevent negative effects on the environment before they start. We are always looking for new ways to improve ourselves as an environmentally friendly resort.
