    Nice for scuba diving

    Oshima strait is narrow and long between Amami-Oshima & Kakeroma Is, it means possible play diving even in strong wind. The clear water, many points, many kind of live.

    Former Imperial Navy residence

    Both the Oshima side and the Kakeromajima side are typical straits on the Rias-style coast with intricate coves. By ferry, I went back and forth between Koniya Port → Ikuma Port-Seso Port → Koniya Port and the two islands. If it is surrounded by land so much, the sea will be calm. It was also used as an anchorage for the Imperial Navy, and Yamato and Musashi used to anchor.

    A strait between Oshima and Kakeromajima. You can cross by ferry or sea taxi. When the typhoon approaches, cargo ships will evacuate.

    The Oshima Strait seen from the observatory in Setouchi Town is wonderful. It is a scenery that you will want to see as many times as you like. I will definitely go there when I come to Amami again.
