Jikkyonuho
Jikkyonuho means "the river of Serikaku." This spring, sitting in the middle of the village, has long abeen a source of life for people here. In June 2008, it was designated one of the Heisei 100 remarkable waters. It is also a hub of community connection.

Tamina Cape
This stunning cape at northwest tip of the island is one of the "Ten Sights of Amami." The view of cobalt blue sea and foaming waves crashing onto the rocks from the top of the 51 m-high cliff is spectacular. The road may be perilous but it is vital to visit here and feel the power of nature. On calm days, you may spot turtles swimming. This is a good rest stop, with toilets on site.
