Amami Islands
Japan · Ryukyu Islands
The Amami Islands sit in subtropical Kagoshima prefecture, draped in dense coral gardens and visited seasonally by whale sharks and manta rays. Their endemic species richness and near-pristine reef systems make them one of Japan's most ecologically significant diving destinations.
