Akina/Ikuri district, gently spreading in the deep mountains of Tatsugo Town, Amami Oshima, is the sacred hometown of Amami's unique deep spiritual culture, where the traditional festival for a good harvest "Akina Arasetsu Events (Shochokama/Hirase Mankai)," which is also designated as a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property, is still sacredly inherited. The vast beautiful rural landscape harmonizes beautifully with the surrounding steep mountains, and the moment you step in, you are wrapped in the good old Japanese original landscape and nostalgia. Strolling through the village where traditional thatched one-story buildings and old stone walls remain is highly acclaimed by overseas cultural exploration groups with rich intellectual curiosity. It is the best area where you can deeply learn about the vitality of great nature, the warm bonds of the local people, and Japanese traditional aesthetic sense with your five senses.
