Take-off description
The takeoff is on a bluff overlooking a long beach, at about 100 metres elevation. It's accessible by any vehicle, although it's not so easy to find... You can get to it from the sugarcane fields above the village of Teniya.
Getting there
Teniya is about 1.5 hours from Naha by car. Turn off the freeway at Ginoza and follow the signs to Higashi. You will pass Kayo (another site 14km after the turnoff to Higashi - Teniya is about another 5-10 minutes). It's best to call Frank Ashimine at Bluesky Okinawa for detailed directions or for guiding services. His English is great and he's very friendly!
Weather
None except the obvious (typhoons).
Rules / airspace
This site (like other Japanese sites) is club controlled and there are site fees. Again, it's best to contact Frank Ashimine.
Comments
This is a great site that works best in an east wind. There are never a lot of pilots working this ridge.
