Tokunoshima Town, located in the eastern part of Tokunoshima, a World Natural Heritage island floating in the central part of the Amami Islands, is a vibrant remote island city where a unique dynamic wild ecosystem and the history of bullfighting (cow fitting) still breathe deeply. Traditional "bullfighting" has been held on the island for over 500 years, and the dynamic local entertainment where huge bulls collide violently is very popular among international tourists. On the other hand, geological superb views of mysterious giant rocks and strange rocks carved by erosion of waves over many years, represented by "Mushiroze," spread along the coastline. It is the ultimate secret region where you can be healed from the heart by rich nature that is not overly touristy and the hospitality of warm islanders.
