About This Destination
Amami Oshima is a lush subtropical island between Kyushu and Okinawa, recently designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its ancient forests harboring the endangered Amami rabbit. The island's distinct Shimauta folk music, unique local cuisine, and traditional mud-dyed Oshima tsumugi silk textiles reflect a culture distinct from both mainland Japan and Okinawa. Pristine beaches, mangrove forests, and the warm Kuroshio current make this a paradise for nature enthusiasts.
