“Night Tour” is a very popular activity in Amami. The reason for its popularity is that there is a high probability that you can encounter the Amami Rabbit, a special natural monument. A special natural monument refers to a specially designated animal of particularly high global or national value among natural monuments. Of course, Amami Oshima is home to many valuable endemic species other than Amami rabbits, so it's no surprise that Amami Oshima is called the Galapagos of the East (^^) Guests staying in the Naze area can pick up and drop off free of charge!
