Oura Observatory, standing on a small high mountain in Amami Oshima (Sumiyo-cho), is a dynamic superb view observation spot on the island where you can overlook the vast green carpet of the "Kuroshio Forest Mangrove Primeval Forest" and the deep blue sea of the beautiful Oura Bay at once. When you stand in the stylish wooden observation area, a grand panorama without any obstructions spreads out, and the mysterious work of the mangrove jungle, which changes its expression and shape of waterways every moment due to the ebb and flow of the tide, is very photogenic. While bathing in the pleasant refreshing tropical breeze with your whole body, it is a place where you can completely forget the heat of the city and luxuriously enjoy the overwhelming vitality of World Natural Heritage and the art of great nature with your five senses.
