Amami Buggy & Night Watching Guide Service

Local eco‑guide runs small-group 4x4 buggy tours and guided night‑watching focused on Amami’s endemic species, plus camper rentals. Tours depart from Tatsugo (Akaogi) or nearby meeting points listed per booking.

Expect hands‑on driving on coastal and forest tracks, guided night searches for Amami wildlife (including the elusive Amami rabbit), and basic astronomy viewing — all led by a certified Amami eco‑tour guide.

You’ll ride in a 4-wheel buggy over coastal and forest tracks and join guided night walks to spot endemic wildlife.

Tour highlights:

• Off-road buggy section across sand tracks and forest trails with short photo stops
• Night-watching walks seeking Amami rabbit, Ryukyu robins, frogs and other nocturnal species
• Stargazing/astronomy viewing away from island lights when conditions allow
• Meeting point usually Akaogi (赤尾木181-1) for buggies; some night tours meet at Sumiyo/Wase — check your booking

Best way to experience it: Book a buggy plus night-watching combo or time your visit during new-moon nights for better wildlife and star visibility. Wear closed shoes and bring a headlamp, insect repellent and a waterproof layer for coastal spray or evening humidity.
