It is endemic to Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan, and is known from the islands of Ishigaki and Iriomote, both in the Yaeyama Group.

[1][3] The specific name supranarina refers to the large size of this species (Latin supra means "beyond")—at the time of the species description, it was the largest member of the so-called Rana narina complex.

[2] Odorrana supranarina inhabits broad-leaved evergreen forests along mountain streams.

Habitat loss and degradation caused by logging and human settlement are threats to it, particularly on Ishigaki.

Iriomote is a national park, but improved protection of its forest habitats is still needed.
