Tour the World Heritage islands

Enjoy fantastic views from the boat

First, fly to Amami Oshima

Getting to the Amami Islands is by boat and plane. In addition to direct flights from Kagoshima Airport to each island, there are also direct flights from major cities to Amami Oshima. It is possible to tour two islands in one day by combining air and sea travel.
Why not enjoy voyaging by boat, starting from Amami Oshima?

Humpback whales can be seen in the waters around Amami Oshima in winter.

Humpback whales come to the warm waters of Japan to give birth and raise their young. Whale watching is popular in the Amami Islands, especially around Tokunoshima, where you can spot and observe migrating whales from December to March from boats.
