The heart-rock of Amami Oshima Island is located at the Bira Beach in Tatsugo town near the airport. Also, near a delicious gelato shop La Fonte.

Very scenic road in Irabu Island! We can't meet such a straight road leading to the sea in other places except for Irabu Island. And the deep blue color at the both sides of the road makes us feel mystery of the sea.

Looking up at the cliff from below, it was very dynamic. It was so powerful that I thought if it collapsed. The promenade is well maintained and it is easy to go sightseeing. This is one of the spots you should definitely stop by when sightseeing in Miyakojima.
