There are three ways to get from Amami Airport to central Amami Oshima: rental car, cab, and bus.
The most convenient way to access the central part of Amami Oshima is by rental car. You can freely move from the airport to the central area and natural spots.
Be careful when driving, as there are some areas, such as mangrove forests in the central and southern part of Amami-Oshima, where GPS does not respond.
There are waiting cars at the airport and port, and cabs are relatively easy to catch since Nase is the center of Amami Oshima.
If you need access to a location away from the downtown area, contact a cab company.
Although there are only a few services, it covers the entire Amami Oshima Island and is the only public transportation system on Amami Oshima. There are also tickets for unlimited rides on local buses.
An airport shuttle bus runs from Amami Airport.
Naze, located in the central part of Amami Oshima, is the busiest and central part of Amami Oshima.
It is recommended as a travel base because of its harbor and dense concentration of restaurants and accommodations.

The deep, still silence of the Kanasakuhara Forest truly cleansed my soul... As I walked, bathed in the sunlight filtering through the trees, it felt as though my petty everyday worries were slowly fading away... It was a truly blissful and healing experience...
The forest at Kinzakuhara looked just like a real-life Jurassic Park, and I got super excited lol. The certified guide’s stories were interesting too—I was totally satisfied!
From mangrove canoeing to a nighttime forest exploration, it was a fulfilling tour that let us fully experience all of Amami’s natural beauty. We were also able to spot the Amami black rabbit, and the included transportation made the nighttime journey feel safe. I’m very satisfied.
The kids were absolutely thrilled by the big Jeep. Seeing the smiles on their faces when we spotted a black rabbit in the forest at night is the greatest treasure a parent could ask for. Thanks to the guide’s safe driving, we were able to enjoy ourselves to the fullest.
