Amami Park

Amami Park is a facility on the Amami Islands with exhibition buildings, gardens, and grounds dedicated to showcasing the region's natural environment and cultural heritage. The site features multiple structures and open areas where visitors can learn about the local landscape and island traditions.

The park opened in 2001 as part of efforts to preserve and present the heritage of the Amami Oshima Islands and their surroundings. This initiative was designed to document and protect the history and natural character of this island group for future generations.

The museum displays regional art and shows traditional Oshima silk weaving, a craft that has been passed down through generations in these islands. You can observe how local artisans create these textiles and understand their importance to community identity.

The facility offers parking, information centers, and guide services throughout the grounds. Comfortable shoes are recommended since there are gardens and outdoor areas to explore at your own pace.

The park displays a collection of native plants, including rare species found in the rainforests of the archipelago. This botanical collection showcases the natural diversity of the islands that visitors would rarely encounter elsewhere.
