Scenery of the Okinawa white oak cluster

What is the Okinawa white oak cluster?

The Okinawa white oak is an endemic species of oak in Japan, and just 10 years ago, the Yamato Beach and Okinawa white oak forest in Yamato Village was designated a national natural treasure. HereThe simplest way to describe the Okinawa white oak is that it is the tree that produces the "largest acorn in Japan.It would be good to say.

The large acorn accessories found in the souvenir corners of Amami Airport and Naha Airport in Okinawa are acorns from this tree.

It seems that it has been found in recent years to be crossbred with Japanese blue gums, but this one is of normal size.

You may see the Okinawa white oak when you pick up fallen second-year acorns, but they are large from the leaves, so you may pick up one set with the leaves when you pick them up as a souvenir. There is a signboard in front of the village office in Yamato Village, so follow the sign and climb the slope.

Yamato Village is located in the center of Amami Oshima, but is only 80 minutes by rental car from Amami Airport.

There is no parking lot, so it is best to ask permission from the town office. The weather is changeable on Amami Oshima Island, and the slope up to the colony is steep, so it is best to take extra care of your footing if it is raining.
