Kakeroma Island Trekking Tour
The Details of the Tour
For YOU to taste even richer island-likenesses!
For YOU to kick back and relax on Kakeroma Island
where Island Time flows more slowly than on Amami Oshima Main Island.
『What is Kakeroma Island?』
ocated in the just south of Amami Oshima Main Island,
selected as one of the 100 Best Villages in Japan,
it is an island surrounded with coral stone walls and hibiscus hedges, where the original scenery remains.
This land is said to heavily hold the old village up until now.
Recently the number of tourists has increased little by little.
It will take about fifteen-to-twenty minutes to reach the island by ferry boat or by sea taxi from Amami Oshima Main Island.
『Main Spots on Kakeroma』
Considering the weather conditions, we will go around the best selected tourist sites, such as
- a row of Digo trees good for strolling and relaxing,
- Ootake Shrine, Shodon Shibaya, known as Important Cultural Properties (nationally designated),
- the huge Chinese Banyan (Gajumalu) which makes us feel power of nature in Takena,
- the film location of “Otokoha Tsuraiyo”, and the enormous Kasumal trees in Osai.
Since these tours are not the activities to kayak or snorkel,
anyone can participate regardless of the seasons.
