The Explanation of the Tour

Two key words for the highlights in touring Amami Oshima
are “Canoeing in Mangroves” and “Kakeroma island”.
You are on Kakeroma island for a great while ! Why don’t you enjoy both?
However, Amami Oshima is quite a large island with mangroves!

Moreover, Kakeroshima is unexpectedly a large island since there is only one way to cross over to the island.
It is by boat !
It is really different and complicated to enjoy the mangroves at the high tide or at the low tide.
The transportation means by ferry and by sea taxi
are disorganized.
But leave us, natives born and brought up on the islands, to the fully leisurely relaxing enjoyment of Amami
without caring about the unnecessary matters.
It is all right for you to stay both in the northern part near the airport and in Nase♪

This is a recommended tour for you to enjoy both the Mangrove Tour and Kakeroma island only in one day.

Mangrove Canoeing:

This is a guided tour to visit the largest Mangrove Native Forest in Amami Oshima
in one-seater, or two-seater comparatively stable canoes.
After a short lesson, even beginners can manage easily.
The tides will determine which spot to be guided in the mangroves.
The high tide will lead you to going down the wide river,
landing on the tidelands and observing the plants and the animals.
The low tide will also make it possible to take enough time
and observe the interesting ecology of plants and animals.
At both of the high and low tides, guided canoeing will be leisurely relaxing,
and heal the mind and body.

Kakeroma Island

Kakeroma island is an outlying island with idyllic appearances of original and nostalgic sceneries in Amami Oshima,
locating Amami Oshima to the north across the Ooshima Strait, and Yoro island, Uke island and Tokunoshima
in the tidal path farther down to the south.
Kakeroma island is unexpectedly such a large island that it is impossible to go around in one day,
which makes us take a slow strolling mainly on the eastern side of the island.
By car we will guide you to the high points,
the battlefield ruins in Ankyaba, Tokuhama Beach, the rows of Deigo trees and Suri Beach.

※When there are some places you are most eager to visit, we will make as many arrangements as possible.
Tokuhama Beach, the rows of Deigo trees and Suri Beach are the film locations in “Otoko wa Tsuraiyo.”
Looking at the whole view of Pacific Ocean and Oshima Strait from the hill,
taking a walk in the row fo Deigo trees and in the village,
playing on the beautiful sea and beaches…♪

You can fully feel relaxed atmosphere in Kakeroma island although it’s a short time.

Why don’t you try to have a luxurious day in Kakeroma island to console your spirit with light activities,
and by canoeing in the mangroves?
This will offer enough joyful leisurely feeling in Kakeroma island.
