This is a cultural and historical piece of Okinawa that is worth researching before you visit. It's a rather steep climb so, sturdy walking shoes are recommended to traverse the stone pavement and steps. Those pushing children in strollers would have to be in better-than-average shape or, stop to rest frequently. Wheelchairs would only be possible for those in Olympic condition. It's a good idea to carry some drinking water, as tourist traps along the route can be fairly expensive, for those desiring a cold drink or refreshments. I wouldn't traverse the stone pavement, without exploring, to see what's off the side trails. For those wishing to navigate off the beaten path, mosquito repellent would be recommended. Leaving the cobblestone path, the trails become more jungle-like and critters such as snakes may be encountered. Either way, some great camera opportunities can be spotted on and off the beaten path.
