    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about sightseeing in Amami Oshima Island

    Q. Is it really necessary to rent a car when traveling with children?

    It is no exaggeration to say that it is indispensable☆.
    Amami Oshima Island is much larger than you might imagine, and considering the waiting time for buses and the hassle of getting around, a rental car is the best way to have more freedom. A car is by far the smoothest way to get around, especially when it suddenly rains or your child falls asleep during transportation.

    Q. Are there any spots that can be enjoyed even on rainy days?

    We recommend the mud-dyeing experience at the Kagoshima Amami Park and Amami Oshima Tsumugi Village!
    Both are roofed, so visitors can learn deeply about Amami history and culture without worrying about the weather.
    Marine activities such as snorkeling, which requires the use of a wetsuit, are often held even when it rains.

    Q. Can I visit the popular "Kinsaku-hara" and "Mangrove" without a reservation?

    In the Kanezakuhara Wilderness Forest, visitors are required to be accompanied by a certified guide for nature conservation purposes, and advance reservations are required.
    Some places accept mangrove canoeing on the same day, but the best time depends on the timing of high and low tides, so the trick is to book your tour in advance so you don't miss the best time.â
