Tatsugo Coffee Farm and northern, western and southern Amami Oshima

Amami Coffee Farm, Scenic Views & Brown Sugar Shochu Tour

Visit a coffee farm in Tatsugo on Amami Oshima to discover locally grown coffee and tropical fruit. During the harvest season, pick ripe red coffee cherries, hear from the farmer, and explore the island's agricultural landscape.

この体験について

Visit Tatsugo Coffee Farm in Tatsugo, Amami Oshima, to discover coffee grown on the island and the landscape of subtropical farming. Afterward, explore scenic viewpoints or a brown sugar shochu distillery according to your interests.

During the harvest season, you may pick ripe red coffee cherries, taste their fruit, and learn from farm owner Mr. Matsuzaki how coffee travels from tree to cup.

After the farm visit, choose destinations in northern Amami, the western area around Yamato Village, or the south, and create a route for the day.

The places and number of stops possible will depend on the combination of destinations, travel time, season, and weather.

​体験の特徴

A defining feature is that the experience goes beyond the coffee farm: you can also combine scenic destinations and brown sugar shochu distilleries according to your interests on the day.

Sample destinations

• Honohoshi Beach: a distinctive shore of rounded wave-polished stones that make sounds as waves recede.

​この体験の魅力

One of the pleasures of this experience is discovering rare Japanese-grown coffee before it reaches your cup—and then building a day around the parts of Amami you most want to see, rather than following a set sightseeing route.

At Tatsugo Coffee Farm, visit the fields tended by Mr. Matsuzaki and encounter seasonal coffee fruits, flowers and tropical fruit trees.

Afterward, tell your guide what interests you. Possibilities include hills overlooking the sea, waterfalls, fukugi tree-lined lanes, southern beaches and brown sugar shochu distilleries. The route is adjusted to travel time and the day's conditions.

Another distinctive aspect is traveling with Aasa, who was born and raised on Amami Oshima and still lives there. Hear about village life, island culture and the relationship between people and nature.

Rather than trying to check off as many landmarks as possible, take time to enjoy the island's landscapes, farming, food, spirits and everyday life.
