Junglia, Japan’s Newest Theme Park, Is on the Front Line of the US-China Rivalry

In the subtropical forests of Okinawa, Japan’s newest tourist attraction, Junglia, promises visitors a return to nature. An infinity spa overlooks the lush mountainside, and the more adventurous can enjoy a ride on a quad-bike or in a hot-air balloon.

Less than an hour’s drive across the island, US Marines train for jungle warfare, learning reconnaissance, survival skills and extraction techniques.
