I have enjoyed various activities such as snorkeling and diving. I was fascinated by Amami Oshima Island, which I visited on a trip, and decided to move there in my late 20's. I am currently living on Amami Oshima. Since moving here, I have been visiting Amami Oshima and other remote islands to experience the nature and culture of the islands and to promote the charm of the region.
