I was attracted by the term "forest of the age of dinosaurs" and joined the tour. The guide's talk was very interesting and the time passed very quickly. Comfortable shoes are a must!

I joined this tour to enjoy the nature of Amami as depicted by Tanaka Isson. I enjoyed the guide's careful explanation and the plants growing wild in the wonderful Amami Kanasakubara. You should definitely see the hego and ferns that form the lively nature of Amami. I am very glad that I joined this tour!

I signed up for this tour because I suddenly wanted to return to my childhood. The landscape reminded me of the age of dinosaurs, and I felt as if I had wandered into a storybook. There were many families with children, and it was comfortable, not too quiet and not too crowded.

If you go to Amami, you should definitely join this tour. I was alone this time and had many very valuable experiences. A Lidth's Jay flew right in front of me and I was able to see its bright wings. I learned a lot about the history and nature of Amami, especially about orchids. I thought it was very nice to hear the Amami people's reverence for nature, "toot ga nashi" (no toot). If I visit Amami again, I will participate! Thank you for meeting a wonderful guide who is full of love for Amami! Thank you very much!

It was a wonderful tour to experience the virgin forests of Amami Oshima and the guide's love for Amami. The huge ferns, which we do not usually see, were just like something out of a movie. At the last destination, we met a mysterious giant tree. We were even luckier and were shown a natural monument, the redbeard, at a distance of 1 meter. Next time, I would like to come back in a different season.

We were assigned to a guide named Mr. Shun. He was very friendly and kind and we had a lot of fun. I am glad I joined this tour because I could feel the world of ancient dinosaurs and see a big tree that is more than 200 years old. At the end of the tour, he also played the sanshin, which was a great memory for me.
