Amami Oshima island

Amami Oshima is the northernmost island in Amami islands, Japan. This is largest island of the group, but, unfortunately, not the best one for the tourists. The beaches are rather mediocre, while choice of attractions is limited. Of course, mountain hiking is possible, but you can find a lot of it in the Big Islands. Shore and seabed: stones, sand.
