"A special trip to avoid the three honeys in Corona" Amami Oshima is the second largest island in Japan after Okinawa and Sado Island. In particular, the main island is about 70 km from the northern part where the airport is located to the southern town "Koniya" overlooking Kakeromajima, and it takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes by car. However, resort-type hotels and downtown areas are concentrated in the north, and if you try to go sightseeing based there, you will inevitably move back and forth.
