Amami Islands travel guide
Japan · Top sights · trending spots
Amami Ōshima lies between Kyushu and Okinawa and became a natural World Heritage site in 2021, listed for a subtropical laurel forest that shelters the Amami rabbit and little else like it.
The mangrove estuary at Sumiyo is paddled by canoe at high tide. The island distils shochu from brown sugar, a licence granted nowhere else in Japan, and weaves Oshima tsumugi silk. The reefs stay uncrowded.
