Yunyoo is the capital of Yunyoo-Nasuan District in the North East Region of Ghana. It is a remote, quiet farming town northeast of Nalerigu, home to Konkomba communities and serving as a new district capital. Few travellers come here, which makes it one of the most off-the-beaten-path district capitals in Ghana.
