My favourites

I’m Matt from Amami Adventures, where I offer private eco-tours on Amami Oshima in both English and Japanese, blending real adventures with genuine connections to the local community. With 25 years of experience in Japan and strong ties to the locals, my tours immerse you in the island’s stunning nature and rich culture. Having worked with organizations like National Geographic, the History Channel, The North Face, and Japan’s Environment Ministry, I create authentic, low-impact experiences tailored to you—bringing passion and purpose to every tour in one of Japan’s best-kept secrets.
