Let's dive in the blue sea! It's a half-day tour that takes you to the uninhabited islands of the nationally designated national park in 30 minutes. Not only can you see the coral reefs of the fish paradise and the very popular Nemo, but you can also see sea turtles and sharks depending on the timing.

This tour recruits a limited number of people every month, so first come, first served! And only for students! Reservations are for 3 people or more, and are recommended for those who come to play with friends during spring break or summer vacation! This plan was created to support the creation of memories for students who come to Amami Oshima. Why not try kayaking in the mangroves to make memories with your friends, such as on a graduation trip? You can land deep in the intricate jungle and on vast tidal flats that you cannot go on group tours!・Schedule ① Meet at Roadside Station Mangrove Park ② Arrival at the canoe boarding area, preparation lecture (15 minutes) We will explain how to row and precautions. ③Canoe tour (100 minutes) Let's row a canoe and explore the mangroves! The jungle, tree tunnels, tidal flats, and swarms of crabs are all extraordinary experiences. ⑤ Mangrove Park disbanded I hope you have the best memories of your trip.・About the tides Since mangroves are close to the ocean, the tides have a big effect on their location. This is a tour where you can row a canoe at both high and low tides. However, when the tide is high, the canoe travels through the channels inside the mangroves, and when the tide is low, the tidal flats appear, so they land on the tidal flats. If you have a preference, please let us know when making your reservation.・About tour safety The guide for this tour will be an instructor who has taken a kayak training program. We will provide appropriate lectures and advice to customers who are new to kayaking, and conduct tours in accordance with safety standards.・Others: This tour is not a private tour, and in some cases we may guide two groups at the same time. If you would like to have a private tour, you can choose this as an option.

Amami Oshima was registered as a World Heritage Site under the framework of "biodiversity". In fact, only about 10% of the virgin forests remain on Amami Oshima, and Mt. Yuwan is one of the few areas of untouched nature that remain. Let's take a walk around Mt. Yuwan, where many endemic species remain. There are two routes to climb Mt. Yuwan, but on this tour, we walk up the wooden stairs from the parking lot at No. 9 to the observation deck and shrine near the summit. It is not a mountain trail, so it is easy to walk, and you can observe plants unique to Mt. Yuwan along the way. (Anyone who has no problem walking or climbing stairs in daily life can participate. It takes about 30 minutes to walk one way.) On a clear day, you can see a wide view of Amami Oshima from the observation deck. However, as the name "cloud forest" suggests, Mt. Yuwan is a special environment with clouds and fog all year round and a lot of rain. Therefore, you can only see the view from the observation deck if you are lucky... but for me (the guide), it is the rainy days that are the real sight. I would like you to experience this natural environment! After Mt. Yuwan, we will stop by Materia Falls for a commemorative photo and tea time. Schedule Meet at Amami City Naze Sports Park or pick up at hotel ↓ Move to Mt. Yuwan (travel time varies depending on pick-up location) Arrive at Mt. Yuwan parking lot ↓ Nature walk while observing plants and animals Arrive at observation deck and shrine ↓ Descend to parking lot ↓ Travel 15 minutes Materia Falls ↓ Return to hotel

What kind of places can you go to? - A cape covered with bamboo shrubs - A forest of endemic species registered as a World Natural Heritage Site - A beautiful mountain stream that is home to an endangered species called Ryukyu Ayu - A place where you can see both the Pacific Ocean and the East China Sea.

The mangrove of the Oura River, which pours into Oura Bay, is one of the largest in Okinawa and is said to be in the best preserved condition in Okinawa. It is said that the richness of Oura Bay is due to the nutrients in the Yanbaru Forest slowly permeating the sea through the mud. We will guide you not only about the ecology of plants and small animals with mangroves, but also about the relationship between the Yanbaru forest and the sea ♪ Please enjoy the blissful time surrounded by the greenery of the mangroves and Yanbaru forest. ～ Flow of the day ～ ① We will meet at the parking lot on the promenade side of Wansaka Oura Park.

This tour is an adventure tour that combines the mysterious world of Shugendo with the thrill of cave exploration. There are many caves and waterfalls in the Yoshino region of Nara Prefecture, and it has long been considered a sacred place for people who practice asceticism in the mountains. You can experience the beauty of nature and the depth of history by visiting the waterfalls and caves where ancient ascetics practiced. In particular, by exploring inside a cave, you can experience the sensation of entering the womb of the earth with all five senses, touch the mysteries of nature, and refresh your mind and body while being surrounded by a ``silent and mysterious'' atmosphere. **What is Shugendo? **Shugendo is a unique religious culture that incorporates elements of Buddhism and Shintoism into traditional Japanese ascetic practices, and values a sense of unity with nature. Mountains are considered sacred places, and asceticism is carried out in nature. Ascetics are called ``Yamabushi'' and aim for spiritual growth through meditation, waterfall training (asceticism where you are hit by a waterfall), asceticism in caves, etc. Shugendo, born from gratitude for being alive amidst the blessings of nature, is based on the idea that one can be reborn once again through rigorous training in nature. Caves have also been used as training sites. 1. **Arrival at Yoiyoi Nishikawa Base and Briefing**: - After arriving at Yoiyoi Nishikawa Base, you will receive a briefing on the tour overview, safety, and the cultural significance of the places you will visit. 2. **Introduction to Dragonfly Falls Hike**: - Visit Dragonfly Falls, which was also a training site for Shugendo, located a one-minute drive from Yoiyoi Nishikawa Base. Here, you will experience the training of Shugendo and how to face nature, including waterfalls. 3. **Lunch Break**: Have lunch at the park below Dragonfly Falls 4. **Preparing for Expedition**: - Return to Yoiyoi Nishikawa Base and prepare your exploration gear. Once you are ready, you will drive in your guide's car for about 15 minutes to the parking lot near the cave. 5. **Start of cave exploration**: - After arriving at the parking lot, the cave exploration will begin. The exploration begins by searching for the entrance of the cave. Please discover the cave with your own hands. In order to enjoy the cave exploration empty-handed, your luggage will be left in the car and your guide will take care of your valuables other than your smartphone. 6. **Cave exploration**:7. **Response after cave exploration**: - Return to the same parking lot and change from your dirty equipment. 8. **Hot spring bath**: - After the cave exploration, you can enjoy a hot spring bath. We will provide face towels. Please spend some time relaxing and soothing your tired body in the hot spring. 9. **Pick-up and disbandment**:
