Ootaniwatari Colony (nest fern colony), spreading in the rich mountains of Amami Oshima (Uken-son), is a very dynamic and mysterious nature area that symbolizes the rich forests of the World Natural Heritage, where huge epiphytic fern plants "Ootaniwatari" (nest ferns) grow thick in many layers. The sight of magnificent, beautiful green leaves that remind you of a tropical jungle growing in clusters as if clinging to the trunks of old giant trees and rock surfaces is full of impact, and it invites travelers who have stepped in to an overwhelming extraordinary world as if they had slipped back in time to the ancient dinosaur era. It is a hidden sacred place where you can stroll while listening to the chirping of birds in silence that has completely escaped commercialization, and where you can fully enjoy the wild vitality of the earth as it is and deep healing with your five senses.
