    I learned a lot about Amami and its nature that I wouldn't have known unless I asked the locals. It was a great trip because we got to see hubs, the scenery was beautiful, and it felt great to swim in the mangroves. We also learned about many delicious restaurants and had a great time on the next day of the tour and beyond. Tasuku-san is the best guide in Japan. We look forward to working with him again.

    It was great! In the morning mangrove canoeing They guided us through a challenging course while keeping an eye on the physical strength of the elementary school children, and they had a lot of fun. They had a lot of fun as we guided them through the challenging course while watching their physical strength. Above all, the view from the river was amazing. In the afternoon, we moved to the beach for sea turtle snorkeling. I was worried if I could see them, but they came pretty close to me. Also, when we had a problem with the battery of our parked car dying at the office, the staff was very helpful in recharging the battery.
