Many animals were surrounded by the Kuroshio Current and traveled overland to Okinawa and Amami, evolving independently over millions of years, surviving on what later became isolated islands, and continuing to live in the lush forests of today.

The meaning of Amanico, which is also the origin of the name, is "We want to bring smiles to people's faces through the nature of Amami Oshima." We head out to the sea, mountains and rivers to search for "Amawara" according to the day's Amami! By the time we find many Amawa, the sun will be setting and our slightly sunburned skin will be soothed. When the sun sets over Nirai Kanai (the utopia at the end of the horizon) and a starry sky is scattered, the sound of the shamisen can be heard along with the rippling waves, and the "Amawara" of the day will turn into a shimauta (traditional Okinawan song). We will deliver such "Amawara, Amawa, Amawa".

Frequently Asked Questions about Amami Oshima Activities
Q Basic knowledge of Amami
A The Amami archipelago refers to the eight islands of Amami Oshima, which is located in the south of Kagoshima prefecture. It is a place where the "spirit of ties" has been passed down, living in line with the climate while being at the mercy of history and valuing horizontal bonds. It has a subtropical oceanic climate, with an average summer temperature of around 32 degrees Celsius, but low humidity and a refreshing heat. Due to the location, there are many typhoons from summer to autumn, so it is essential to check the weather forecast when traveling.
Q How to get to Amami Oshima?
A You can reach Amami Oshima by plane or ferry. By air, direct convenience from major city airports such as Tokyo and Osaka is a simple and easy-to-understand method, but the disadvantage is that the number of flights is small. Flying between Kagoshima and Amami requires transfers, but it has the advantage of having a large number of flights. For routes, take the ferry from Kagoshima.
Q Is Amami different from Okinawa?
A "Amami" and "Ryukyu (Okinawa)" are often confused, but their languages and cultures are essentially different. For example, Awamori, which is famous in Okinawa, is not often drunk in Amami. In Amami, brown sugar shochu is a daily favorite. In addition, the scales of Amami Shima-uta and Okinawan folk songs are actually completely different. When sightseeing, it may be interesting to pay attention to the cultural differences of each region.
Q What are the popular activities in Amami?
A The resort island Amami Oshima, where untouched nature remains, is a hot area for outdoor experience leisure. A particularly popular activity on Amami Oshima, which has a large mangrove forest, is the "Real Jungle Cruise Experience Tour" on a rowing boat. If you plan with transportation from the airport or hotel, you don't have to worry about moving. In addition, snorkeling tours and nature guided tours are also recommended.
