This video presents a Japanese listening practice vlog filmed on Amami Oshima island by Miku Real Japanese. It’s designed for learners looking to improve their Japanese comprehension while gaining insight into everyday life in a unique region of Japan. The video is spoken in authentic, natural Japanese, making it an excellent study resource for intermediate and advanced learners interested in real spoken language rather than textbook phrases.

The vlog follows Miku as she travels through Amami Oshima (奄美大島), located in Kagoshima Prefecture. Viewers are given a window into local travel, including a stay at ‘Umi Miru Yane no Yado’ (海みる屋根の宿, Sea View Roof Inn), a charming accommodation that highlights the natural beauty and ocean views characteristic of the island. The video also features a retreat experience on Kakeroma Island (加計呂麻島), specifically the guided ‘Hale Hale’ retreat, which offers cultural and wellness activities distinctive to the region.

In addition to the travel content, Miku shares links to her Japanese language learning resources, such as courses and podcast transcripts, making this vlog not only a travel diary but also an educational tool. Amami Oshima is renowned for its lush subtropical scenery, unique Ryukyu-inspired culture, and vibrant marine life, making it an attractive travel destination for those seeking a less-traveled part of Japan. Whether you are planning a visit or simply wish to immerse yourself in regional Japanese culture and language, this vlog offers both immersive listening and practical travel tips.
