Amami Oshima was registered as a World Natural Heritage Site in 2021. As the reason for its registration is ``biodiversity,'' this island has many unique flora and fauna. Yuwandake is the most important place where many endemic species live. There are two routes to climb Mt. Yuwandake, but on this tour, you will walk up the wooden stairs from the 9th parking lot to the observation deck and shrine near the top. It's not a mountain trail, so it's easy to walk, and you can observe plants unique to Mt. Yuwandake along the way. (Anyone who has no problem walking or going up and down stairs in daily life can participate. The walk will take about 30 minutes each 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. Yuwandake has a unique environment where clouds and fog gather throughout the year, and there is a lot of rain. Therefore, if you're lucky you can see the view from the observation deck, but for me (the guide), the real view is on rainy days. We want you to enjoy this natural environment! After Mt. Yuwandake, we will stop at Materia Falls to take commemorative photos and have tea time. Date: Meet at Naze Sports Park in Amami City or pick up at hotel ↓ Transfer to Mt. Yuwandake (travel time varies depending on the pick-up location) Arrival at Mt. Yuwandake parking lot ↓ Arrive at Nature Walk Observation Deck/Shrine while observing flora and fauna ↓ Arrival at Shimoyama parking lot ↓ Transfer 15 minutes Materia Falls ↓ Arrive at hotel on the way back

This tour is only available during the time when you can go through the mangrove tunnel and take a jungle cruise! High tide is the most popular time in the mangroves. You often see this in guidebooks, on TV, and on social media, where you can canoe through a waterway that looks like a tree tunnel. In fact, this is not possible at any time, but only during high tide! "So when is high tide?" The tides change from day to day, so you need to do some research. But don't worry! Some days it will be held in the morning, and other days in the afternoon, but no matter what time you choose, we will take you to the mangroves at high tide. What's more, we will guide you on a private tour just for you. "Can I keep up with everyone...?" "It's awkward to be with strangers..." "What if I cause trouble to those around me..." Don't worry, there are no worries like these that are unique to group tours! This tour is suitable for a wide range of ages, from young children to the elderly. Young children can ride in a canoe with their parents, and children who are not confident in their physical strength and the elderly can ride in a canoe with an adult.
