3 Must-Try Outdoor Activities on Amami Oshima
Whether you’re a nature lover, an adventure seeker, or just looking to explore the great outdoors, Amami Oshima has something for everyone. Located in the southernmost part of Japan, the subtropical climate offers mild temperatures throughout the year, making it the perfect destination to connect with nature. From mindful practices to underwater activities, we invite you to discover three activities while visiting the island.
Experience Holistic Wellness with Self-Healing Yoga
At Miru Amami, guests can experience a yoga class fused with traditional Chinese medicine concepts. The class is curated to enhance self-healing and homoeopathy by focusing on stretching out the meridians in the body. According to traditional Chinese medicine, certain ailments in the body correspond to specific meridians, which can be stimulated and activated through yoga movements.
This spring, our yoga teacher has tailored the program to focus on movements that will be especially effective for relaxing the liver. By combining the physical benefits of yoga with the holistic approach of traditional Chinese medicine, this class offers a unique way to promote overall health and well-being.
The session is available every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday this March 2023, starting at 6:30 AM ( for about 45 min), depending on the weather. Please ensure to wear comfortable clothes and bring your own water.
Discover the Underwater Wonders of Amami Oshima through Snorkelling
