Tatsugo

Tatsugo combines a quiet coastal rhythm with the humid, subtropical character of Amami Ōshima in a way that reflects its position in the Amami island chain between Kyushu and Okinawa. The town faces the East China Sea on the island’s western side, where low-lying shores meet densely vegetated interior slopes. Amami Ōshima is known for its endemic wildlife and was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2021 as part of the Amami-Oshima Island, Tokunoshima Island, Northern Part of Okinawa Island, and Iriomote Island property. Local identity is also linked to Ōshima tsumugi, a handwoven silk textile traditionally dyed with island mud and plant tannins.
