- Frequently asked questions about this plan
-
Q. What kind of camera should I bring?At night, it is easy to lose animals while changing lenses, so we recommend that you prepare a super-telephoto lens from the start or carry two cameras, one super-telephoto and one wide-angle.Q. Is there a difference between daytime and nighttime viewing?Most of the creatures on Amami Oshima are nocturnal, so birds are the only things that can be seen during the day.
