Activity Japan Hello to all of you, I feel the end of summer is approaching and I can't stop fidgeting. I want to go to the beautiful sea as soon as possible and float on the waves. Since the other day, I have been researching various things about Amami Oshima, a paradise in the south, and muttering "I want to go" in a whisper.
What is Amami Oshima?
Located between the mainland of Kagoshima prefecture and Okinawa prefecture, this island is famous for its warm climate and untouched nature, and is also called the "Galapagos of the Orient". You can enjoy spectacular views such as ria coasts, coral reefs, forests and waterfalls that cannot be experienced in the city. You can meet various tropical fish and sea turtles in marine sports such as snorkeling and diving on the white sandy beach. There are also direct flights from major cities to Amami Airport, and due to its easy access, many tours are organized, making it a popular tourist destination for a wide range of people, including families and couples. The island's local dish, "Keihan," is rice topped with steamed chicken, brocade eggs, and pickles, and sprinkled with chicken soup. It is a recommended menu that you should try once during your trip.
After all, I would like to experience canoeing, kayaking, and SUP with mangroves in Amami Oshima, but trekking seems to be good. I want to enjoy the natural green scenery of the masterpiece movie "Princess Mononoke". The other day, I was just talking about Princess Mononoke with my friends, and it was really exciting to see what it means for Ashitaka to give Sun a necklace-like thing that he got from someone who longs for him. Ashitaka isn't bad, but ... It's kind of complicated if I'm in Sun's position, or it's time for you to take good care of yourself. I would like to talk to someone who has a different opinion. Returning to the story, I would like to go trekking, but if I was alone, I would panic when a snake appeared, so I was scared and I was looking for a good plan, so I will introduce it because there was an attractive course.

We will take a two-hour walk through the Kinsakubaru Primeval Forest, which was also the setting for the film and is lush with plants that are unique to the subtropics and are rarely seen in everyday life. You will see the 10m tall tree fern (said to be the largest of all ferns), the giant ferns, and the elephant's nest, which is as tall as a person. You will also hear the drumming of the great spotted woodpecker, which lives only on this island, and the chirping of the red-breasted woodpecker.

If you are with an instructor, you will be able to tolerate snakes, you will be given various explanations, and you will not get lost, so you can rest assured. However, I am afraid that it may be a little stressful not to recommend at my own pace. Not to mention that I'm not good at group behavior, I often get noticed that even if I go out with my friends, I'll go wandering around right away. If you find something that interests you, you will not be able to see the surroundings. And then, "That ...? Where are your friends ...?" But now I can contact "where" on my mobile phone (although my friends usually ask me "where !?"), and that kind of security is accelerating my freedom. think. It's the darkness of modern society.
Another concern is that it would be nice if the people who participated in the trekking together were very talkative and noisy. I want to immerse myself in the sounds of nature, but when the noise comes in, I feel more and more frustrated and depressed, and it seems to be sad memories. I just hope to be with a quiet person. Ah, but what if the instructor is a noisy person with high tension? It's the ultimate choice between taking such anxiety and fighting the fear of snakes. I can't decide.
It is also famous as a whale watching spot where you can observe humpback whales up close in winter. It is said that the "best waves" will rise, and it is also a paradise that surfers long for. In mangrove, you can enjoy the scenery rich in nature by canoeing and SUP experience.
