Located between Kyushu and Okinawa; Amami Oshima has preserved its native culture. Most people do not take time to explore this island making it one of the most isolated places in Japan. With a subtropical climate and a small population, this island offers great beaches, mangrove forests, delicious cuisine, museums, and the like. For romantics, you can visit the “Heart Rock of Amami” which is sure to make your relationship much stronger. While staying in Amami we invite you to taste the Keihan (the island’s most popular chicken rice dish). To explore the island we offer you two options: a rental car or guide and car.
