Registered as a World Natural Heritage site in 2021, "Amami Oshima" is an untouched paradise with a uniquely rich subtropical ecosystem and emerald-green seas of outstanding clarity. The island features one of Japan's largest expansive "mangrove primeval forests," where you can explore ancient nature through a quiet canoe experience. Other highlights include snorkeling at the beautiful "Tomori Beach" with its vibrant coral reefs and experiencing the traditional mud-dyeing of luxurious "Oshima Tsumugi" silk, a national traditional craft, reflecting the island's unique "Shima (village) culture." It is an ideal island for global travelers who wish to luxuriously experience natural and cultural healing to the beautiful strains of island songs amidst pristine, authentic nature that has escaped commercial overdevelopment.
