Step Into Amami
— Deep Nature, Deeper Stories
ABOUT AMAMI
Breathtaking coral beaches, lush evergreen forests, and subtropical mountains — Amami Oshima is home to rich landscapes and remarkable biodiversity.
Much of the island is covered in lush evergreen forests, where a wide variety of life thrives, from rare birds to endemic plants and insects.
Amami's culture has grown in deep connection with this natural environment. For generations, people have lived in harmony with the land and sea, shaping traditions that reflect respect for nature and a slower, seasonal rhythm of life.
And of course, the incredible food — fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and seasonal vegetables — along with locally brewed Amamian liquor, is not to be missed.
About Tabidori
Tabidori is not about following a fixed itinerary—it's about discovering your own Amami.
Whether you're dreaming of exploring Amami's lush subtropical forests, cycling quiet island roads, relaxing on pristine beaches, or discovering breathtaking coastal landscapes, we'll create a journey tailored to your interests and the day's natural conditions.
Beyond nature, we also open the door to the island's living culture. Through our local connections, you can experience authentic Amami traditions such as Shima-uta (traditional island songs), Oshima Tsumugi mud dyeing, local cuisine, and everyday island life—experiences that are difficult to arrange on your own.
We don't simply show you the island—we introduce you to the people, places, and traditions that make Amami truly unique.
From hidden forests and coral reefs to island music and traditional craftsmanship, every experience is carefully tailored to you.
No two guests are alike, and no two tours are the same. Experience Amami not as a tourist, but as a guest welcomed by the island.
Just Like Your Personal Concierge —
Even if you join us for just a short tour, we are happy to support your entire stay in Amami. We'll take time to understand your interests, adapt to Amami's ever-changing natural conditions, and use strong local connections developed through years of island life to create a one-of-a-kind travel experience tailored just for you.
Need help booking restaurants, activities, or local shops? We're happy to assist—at no extra charge.
"Tabidori" means "migratory bird". Amami Island is a habitat and stopover point for many such birds. For the logo, we chose our favorite — the Ryukyu Ruddy Kingfisher.Just like these traveling birds, may you find peace and joy as you journey through the island.
Tour Amami and enjoy a relaxing island time… just like visiting a good friend.
