Exciting night tours to explore the subtropical forestAt night, the mysterious world of Amami Oshima, registered as a World Natural Heritage site, unfolds in a completely different way from the daytime. The night tour under the star-filled sky and the sounds of living creatures echoing in the subtropical forest will surely be a memory of a lifetime.
Come out to search for rare endemic and nocturnal creatures unique to this area, including the "Amami rabbit," a national special natural treasure!
RecommendationsOpen to participants from ages 0 to 75 years old ◎Japanese only
Free pick-up and drop-off service is available in the Nase area of Amami City.

A thrilling night safari experience
The inhabitants of the Amami forest come alive at sunset, and we will search for them with lights in our hands as we slowly move through the forest in a 4WD vehicle!
If you are lucky, you may see an adorable Amami rabbit or a Ryukyu kite that sleeps in a tree. Expert guides will give you a detailed lecture on the habits of these creatures and how to find them.

Support for small children
This tour is open to participants from babies as young as 0 years old. Since the tour is basically conducted by car, even small children and those who are not confident in their physical strength can enjoy the tour without anxiety☆.
For groups of 5 or more, we can also provide a 1-box car for a more private and relaxing experience.

The look of the night changes with the seasons.
Meet at 6:00 p.m. in fall and winter (October to February) and 7:00 p.m. in spring and summer (March to September), depending on the seasonal sunset time.
In summer, you can enjoy the active creatures, and in winter, you can enjoy the beautiful starry sky in the clear air. Observation from inside the car is possible even in the rain, so you can incorporate it into your schedule without worrying about the weather.

Percentage of review submissions]Total 1520代Month of posting: 2025/12I participated with my 2 and 1 year old children and the guide was very attentive and made us feel at ease. The forest at night was exciting, and both adults and children were very happy to see creatures that are not usually seen. I think this is a valuable experience for those with young children.
