Amami Nature Center

This tour guide service offers eco tours such as birdwatching, night animal watching, and forest walking on Amami Oshima Island. Each tour is designed to minimize the ecological impact on the island's nature based on the nature observation experience of its guides and on investigative research. Their popular forest walking tours allow participants to explore places such as the virgin forests of Kinsakubaru, which will have you thinking you have traveled back in time to a primeval era, as well as Mt. Yuwan, the highest peak on the island. Tour plans aimed at observing the Amami rabbit, an endangered species found only on the islands of Amami Oshima Island and Tokunoshima Island, are growing increasingly popular. Please note that Amami rabbit sightings cannot be guaranteed due to its status as a protected species.
