Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Amami
Choosing the right arrival point in the Amami Islands depends entirely on your final destination and transport preference. Amami Airport (ASJ) is the only airport located in the city itself, serving as the primary hub for Amami Oshima with frequent domestic connections and easy bus access to the Naze city center. Other airports, such as Kikai Airport (KKX), Tokunoshima Airport (TKN), Okinoerabu Airport (OKE), and Yoron Airport (RNJ), are situated in neighboring cities and serve their respective islands; they are not direct gateways to Amami city. For travelers visiting these smaller islands, rental cars and local taxis are the most practical modes of transit, as bus schedules can be sparse. Always confirm local ground transport availability upon arrival, as island infrastructure is limited. While flights connect these islands to the main hub, many visitors also rely on inter-island ferries for transit between these distinct locations.

A common problem in most hotels in Japan, the rooms are too small and the facilities are at the level of seven days at home, but there are not many choices in this place. The location of the hotel is good. Just get off the bus and eat nearby. Supermarkets and convenience stores are not far away.FromUS$33

A small resort hotel with a quiet landscape away from the city. There were two white goats as the name suggests on a small island at the entrance of the bay. I was lucky to have an early check-in and upgrade to an ocean view room. The room was beautiful with a panoramic view of the bay of Naze Port. You can see the night view of the bay from the large communal bath. I ate too much at the buffet with a number of breakfast items. There are also chicken rice and miki. It is recommended to climb the observatory of the back mountain before breakfast. The view was good and comfortable.FromUS$76

The exterior of the building looked quite old, but the inside was very clean and beautiful! I don't like unit baths, but I was able to use the large public bath until 11:30pm, which was great!FromUS$24

good hotel, very new. nice location. quiet and spacious. good personnel. thank you for everything.
a beautiful drawing in the room! wow!
but there are things you can improve.
the curtains are short and they allow light in, you need blackout curtains!
for some people tge totel is probably too minimalistic: a minimal welcome kit, an empty lobby where you dont feel comfortable even to talk (because you can break the silence).
a welcome kit is scarce - only one tea bag (not a selection of tea, no coffee bag), (you could add cotton pads, cotton swabs, skincare kit). but they supply you with a bottle of water every day - thank you.
the garment quality that you need to have on when you visit the bath on the 10th floor is not a good quality.
the toilet seat is cool but lots of excessive functions you never use, it makes some noise voluntarily any time, and always when you pass by it. it' s too sophisticated and it consumes too much electricity - wasteful and not eco-frindly.
anyway thank you!FromUS$43

Close to the airport and in front of you is an outstanding location environment called the sea. The building itself feels a bit old, but the room is very clean and exchanged. I felt a little lonely with the staff's response and the entrance.FromUS$153

It was full of cleanliness and I was able to stay comfortably. It was a pity that the large communal bath was under construction. The souvenir shop was in a very good location at the entrance of the downtown area.FromUS$31

Located in the central group of Amami Oshima. ２４ It is convenient because there is an hour staff. It is inconvenient that there are no convenience stores or supermarkets nearby. If you don't make bed for consecutive nights, you will give me a １ book of water, but if you stay for 4 consecutive nights and change the towels, １ book is not bad service. ← Personal impression.FromUS$25

Unfortunately it was a heavy rainy day stay, but the sea from the room was really beautiful and I was able to enjoy the scenery regardless of the weather.
Before check-in, the staff carefully explained the characteristics of the island and the insects and animals that could occur, and I was able to start my stay with great peace of mind.
The room was clean and the shampoo was very comfortable with Aesop. The amenities were also received at check-in and we enjoyed free drinks and ice cream.
Breakfast was a luxurious time with a view of the sea spreading in front of you. It was a nice inn where you could spend a comfortable time throughout your stay and you would definitely want to revenge on a sunny day.FromUS$209
