Amami Oshima is known for its abundant rainfall, with an annual precipitation of 3,000mm—twice that of Tokyo. Rain is frequent throughout the year, not only during the rainy season in June but also in summer and winter.
Are you feeling down because your visit to Amami coincided with a rainy day? Or perhaps you’re looking for something fun to do despite the rain? If so, the mangrove kayaking tour is the perfect activity for you. In this article, we’ll introduce the unique charm of Amami on a rainy day and why the mangroves are even more magical in the rain.
Why Rainy Days are Ideal for Exploring the Mangroves
While many people imagine kayaking on sunny days, rainy days offer a unique charm. The misty atmosphere, vibrant greenery of the rain-soaked mangroves, and the calming sound of water create a truly tropical experience. These elements make rainy-day mangrove tours surprisingly delightful.
Rainy Day Essentials for the Tour
We provide gear to keep you comfortable in wet conditions. Rain ponchos, sandals, and waterproof smartphone cases are available to ensure you stay dry and can capture the beauty of the mangroves even in the rain.
Tips for Joining a Mangrove Tour on Rainy Days
Bring Spare Clothes:
Even with rain ponchos, some water may seep through. Pack extra towels and clothing.
Stay Warm:
Outside the July–October period, rainy weather can feel chilly. Layer up for extra warmth.
No Shower Facilities Available:
There is a changing area available after the tour, but no shower facilities are provided. To avoid catching a cold, prepare warm drinks or other means to stay warm after the tour.
Enjoy a Private Mangrove Tour on a Rainy Day
Rainy days often mean fewer crowds, allowing you to experience the tranquility of the mangroves in privacy. For those who appreciate the serene beauty of Amami’s nature, this is an opportunity to enjoy its true essence.
