Kikugawa, who graduated with a degree in Ecosystem Science and Policy from the University of Miami, said the vision to build a sustainable tree house resort has always been rooted in creating an experience for guests to come and co-exist with nature while leaving them with a deeper sense of purpose and responsibility about sustainable living. “By adopting sustainable practices and working towards a more sustainable future, we can help to create a world where humans and nature coexist in balance and harmony.” “Our resort is designed with the purpose of eliminating the boundary between the space dominated by humans and the space dominated by wild nature,” says Maha Kikugawa, chief marketing officer of Treeful Treehouse. As blissfully removed as it is from reality, the hotel has a very real mission. Think Swiss Family Robinson with all the creature comforts of your childhood tree house dreams. Floating mere inches above the Genka River, the suite has a a connecting sauna, reachable via a single-plank sky bridge.

Nestled beneath a canopy of Akagi trees in a remote area within Okinawa, Japan’s Yambaru National Park, the resort feels primed for Insta. The trophy tree houses at Treeful Treehouse in Okinawa lets guests connect with nature.
