Into Amami's night forest with a shima-uta singer

  • #About 3 hours
  • #Small groups
  • #Night tour
  • #Shima-uta songs

Hello, I'm Minori, a guide. I was born and raised on the island and have sung shima-uta (Amami folk songs) since I was little. I enjoy meeting people, so after returning to Amami Oshima after university, I worked at a guesthouse and as a guide. I want to share with you the charms of this island and of shima-uta that I rediscovered after becoming a guide.
