STAYCATION SERIES || Sustainable Luxury Treehouse EcoResort in Northern Okinawa, Japan

The desire to travel and escape the city is being compounded by travel restrictions triggered by the global pandemic. With travel confined to destinations accessible by car, we are launching a Staycation Series, to provide you with unique staycation options around the world, spanning the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, and beyond. Join us as we explore Treeful Treehouse, a Sustainable Luxury EcoResort located in Northern Okinawa, Japan.


Imagine spending a weekend soaring high amongst majestic trees in a luxury treehouse.

This dream getaway is made possible at Treeful Treehouse, a Sustainable Luxury EcoResort located in Nago City in Northern Okinawa, Japan. Without hopping on a plane and setting off for the sunny islands in Europe or Hawaii, one can experience an intimate connection with nature right at home in Japan.

Treeful Treehouse CMO Maha Kikugawa shares that her father's childhood dream was to build a treehouse, and because he took Maha on ventures in the mountains, oceans, and rivers since she was a child, both father and daughter wanted to give back to nature and decided that they could achieve this by building an eco-system that preserves the environment by encouraging co-living between humans and nature.

They knew instantly that they wanted the ecoresort to be located in Okinawa, where rich untouched nature remains.

Awaken to the comforting shadows of majestic trees

The resort promotes and acts on creating a sustainable society by not using fossil fuels and uses electricity instead; in fact, the resort produces a surplus of electricity by using solar energy. In addition to its energy-efficient design, Treeful Treehouse also blends in harmoniously with its beautiful natural surroundings.

Regardless of your age, you will feel like a child again once you enter the magical realm that is Treeful Treehouse. Who wouldn’t love dangling their feet over a swing suspended from a tree soaring high above? Who wouldn’t love spending their evenings reading a good book while rocking gently in a hammock?

One of their stylish treehouses suspended high above ground offers 360-degree views with its floor-to-ceiling windows. Guests can also rest assured that though they are situated in the forest, the living space is free from the muggy summer weather because the treehouses also come equipped with air conditioning. Built beside the Genka River, which is considered to have one of the clearest waters in Japan, the EcoResort offers many luxuries only available in the serene natural setting.
