Concept of new 'Junglia' theme park in Okinawa unveiled NHK

The main features of a new theme park being built in Okinawa, southwestern Japan, have been announced.

The company planning the facility in the north of the subtropical prefecture said on Monday it will be called "Junglia."

The park is scheduled to open in the summer of 2025.

Company officials say visitors will be able to take balloon rides and enjoy panoramic views of the forest and the sea. There will also be a safari experience in which visitors escape from a lifelike dinosaur in an off-road vehicle.
