Mushiroze

Mushiroze features rare granite rock formations—massive slabs arranged like woven straw mats—uncommon in the coral-rich Amami Islands. The dynamic scenery changes with seasons; in winter, northerly winds send dramatic sea spray skyward. It’s a quiet sanctuary for anglers targeting migratory fish and home to clusters of sharinbai (Indian hawthorn), used in dyeing Oshima tsumugi textiles. Accessible via paved parking and a promenade leading to an observation deck, Mushiroze offers both stunning visuals and safety for all visitors.
