Sinajana is one of the 19 Villages of Guam. It is located in the hills south of Hagåtña (formerly Agana). The villages name may have come from the word "china-jan," cookware used to cook wild yams that once grew in the area. Sinajana is one of a few villages that was urbanized as a result of a federal urban renewal program. Afame, Agana Springs, and Didigue are a few non-urbanized areas within this same village. There are over 75 homes in Afame, most of which are built below a high cliff, with a few homes high atop a ridge overlooking Hagatna and Mong-Mong. Agana Springs is located below the cliff line of Sinajana and contains a natural spring with small living creatures like frogs and turtles. Didigue is located at the other end of Agana Springs and is accessible by taking a step single lane road through Afame. Although called Didigue, it is named Spring Lane.
