Uken Village Cultural Tour
Join me for an adventure deep into Uken’s jungle and village! These mini hikes reveal the jungle’s secrets and its connection to village life. Explore World Heritage rainforests, spot elusive wildlife, discover hidden waterfalls, and venture into mountain caves—perfect for a quick escape into the heart of Amami.
After lunch in a century-old village restaurant featuring fresh, homegrown ingredients, we’ll explore Uken Village, taking in historic canals, local markets, fruit farms, and the traditions that keep the community vibrant.
Cap off the day at a local distillery, sampling 10+ Amami Island spirits crafted with Mt. Yuwan’s pure water and a unique acoustic aging process. Experience Uken Village’s nature, culture, and flavors up close.
