Amami Oshima Island is situated south of the main Kagoshima Prefecture area. It's in the middle of the Amami Island chain (eight island chain). The sea surrounding the island has clear, deep-blue waters. The brightly-colored coral reefs and tropical fish make for a fantastic diving site. The northern part of the island is a popular resort area dotted with white sandy beaches and more beautiful coral shores. Amami Island chain has habitats for precious endemic species and other endangered species considered important on a worldwide scale. This is why these locations have been chosen as a candidate to become a World Heritage Site. On our program "Amami". we are showing the abundant nature of the island and documenting the life of the people living there.
