A historic tourist center built in 1974 located a one-hour drive from Amami Airport. The building stands two stories above ground and also has a basement floor and contains exhibits and videos on the poisonous habu snake. Established to convey the dangers of this animal, here visitors can learn about the history and ecology of habu. In addition to watching videos of habu and mongooses fighting, the museum has real live habu on display as well as specimens of animals eaten by habu. The facility’s souvenir and gift shop carries things like habu skin wallets and keychains as well as habu health foods.

Review of Amami Sightseeing Habu Center
TripAdvisor Traveler Ratingまず、見るものがあまりなく、がつかりしました。
マングースとハブのショーは随分昔に撮影したDVDだし、生きてるハブの数は少ない。
その代わり、ホルマリン漬けのハブとハブ酒がいくつもありました。海蛇は只今入荷待ちとの事で見る事が出来ませんでした。
100円払って映像を見せる場所がありました。その映像の紹介がえげつない…。奇形の動物とか…。怖いもの見...

Kagoshima Areas

Over 100 active volcanoes across Kagoshima make it one of the Japan's most exciting prefectures. The prefectural capital, Kagoshima city, looks out to one of the prefecture’s most spectacular volcanoes, Sakurajima, an island of its own that can be visited and seen close up or admired from afar, with the promise of breathtaking sunsets complete with frequent puffs of smoke and ash. Down the Satsuma Peninsula, the most southerly part of mainland Japan, waterfalls, sand onsen, and fascinating history await, while Kagoshima's abundance of satsuma imo (sweet potato) provide a wholesome snack as well as one of Japan's favourite drinks - shochu.
