A great value tour that lets you enjoy Amami's classic spots, Kinsakubaru National Forest and mangrove virgin forest, in one day! This is a private tour for your group only, so you can enjoy it at your own pace. Even families with children and those who are not confident in their physical strength can participate with peace of mind, as a dedicated guide will provide careful support. ★Pick-up and drop-off available anywhere on Amami Oshima Free for those staying in the Naze area of Amami City. For those staying in other areas, pick-up and drop-off is available from Naze for a fuel cost of ¥20 per km. ★Kinsakubaru National Forest Walking Kinsakubaru is a treasure trove of ferns and is famous for its photos of giant tree staghorn fern. Enjoy nature observation in the World Heritage area of Kinsakubaru National Forest. It is a flat 2-kilometer round trip path, so it is safe for children. At the turnaround point, you can go down about 30 steps to see the large trees, but those who are not confident in their physical strength can choose whether to go down or not. ★Mangrove virgin forest canoe tour This is the most popular activity in Amami. You can choose between high tide, when you can go through the mangrove tunnel, and low tide, when you can observe crabs. (In either case, you can paddle the canoe.) You can choose between a single-seater canoe and a double-seater canoe. If you have a preference for high tide or low tide when you go through the mangroves, please let us know when you make your reservation. Please note that we may not be able to accommodate your request depending on the reservation situation and the tide level of the day. We will let you know which option you will have when you complete your reservation. ★Lunch included During lunchtime, we will take you to a restaurant recommended by your guide!

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
