Welcome to Amami Island, known for its pristine beaches and lush subtropical forests. Today, on a hike, you will be immersed in this beautiful landscape.
Your first destination is Ohama Seaside Park, where you'll take photos. This spot claims one of the best beaches in Japan -- a stunning haven where you can stroll along the white sand and enjoy the ambience of this picturesque park.
The Kinsakubaru Virgin Forest is a National Park known for its pristine ecosystem and subtropical broadleaf trees. Due to the fragility of the landscape and the presence of flora and fauna found only on Amami Island, your hike is accompanied by a local specialist guide who points out many types of rare hardwoods. Hopefully, you'll catch a glimpse of some resident wildlife. Journey deep into the forest along trails dappled by sunlight shining through the canopy, creating a mystical atmosphere.
