    The Blue Jay—a nationally designated natural monument—and other winter birds are very active. Winter, when the trees have shed their leaves, makes them easier to observe, and their beautiful plumage stands out even more in the deep forest.

    The nighttime jungle tour was seriously awesome lol. Walking through the pitch-black forest was super exciting, and the thrill when you spot a rare creature is off the charts lol. The guide was funny too, and you get to experience all of Amami's nightlife, so you should definitely go!

    It went smoothly. The private tour plan allowed us to efficiently visit only the places we wanted to see, and the guide’s explanations were spot-on. We’ll definitely use this service again.

    First, we slowly paddled our canoe along the mangrove-lined river, fully enjoying the unique natural surroundings. Next, we headed to a mysterious waterfall, where we looked up at a strange plant said to have inspired “Jack and the Beanstalk” and were amazed by its vitality. Since it was a small group, we were able to listen closely to the guide’s explanations and had a truly meaningful and wonderful time.

    The day after my diving trip, I had half a morning to spare before my flight, so I tried booking the tour at the last minute on a whim—and it worked out! Since I don’t have a driver’s license, I couldn’t rent a car, and my only option for getting around was the bus. Given all the luggage I had, I was really glad I was able to join the tour. The elderly guide was also a wonderful person, so I was able to enjoy the tour with complete peace of mind!

    Since I don’t usually get much exercise, I was worried about whether I’d be able to keep up with the canoeing and the hike to the waterfall, but since we had the tour all to ourselves and the guide adjusted the pace to suit us, I was able to enjoy it without any strain. I found the mystical setting incredibly soothing, and I’m so glad I took the plunge and joined the tour.

    I was constantly worried about encountering bugs or venomous snakes when entering the forest at night, but thanks to our guide, who made sure to check for safety at every turn as we moved forward, I was soon completely absorbed in the adventure. I was truly moved when I came across rare wildlife. I’m so glad I took the plunge and joined the tour.
