Jan. 22 - 24 in Amami, Japan

I went to Amami Oshima, Kagoshima with my mom and sister. My sister has been there before and it was her idea to travel there. We did canoeing and walked in the forest. My sis has a friend who moved there and we had dinner together. She has lived in the island for 5 years and I understand why she decided to leave her hometown and move to this island. I would like to live somewhere beautiful like Amami.
BTW I haven't visited jungle since I moved to Brazil. Brazil is known as amazon jungle. I am not sure if I really wanna go there though.
