Gyogyo and Ubamegashi Trail
Gyogyo and Ubamegashi Trail
Gyogyo and Ubamegashi Trail is a 12.0-kilometer coastal route circling the fishing ports from Amamiji to Tomariura. Otsuki Town has long flourished as a fishing community. In Tachibanaura and Tomariura, aquaculture rafts for yellowtail and sea bream dot the sea. The square boxes atop the rafts are automatic feeders. By adjusting the amount and timing of feed by growth stage and environmental factors like water temperature, efficient and high-quality aquaculture is achieved. Otsuki Town is also blessed with an environment ideal for ubame oak, the raw material for binchotan charcoal, which been designated as the town's official tree. At Tsuruba-no-Hana, a pure forest of ubame oak stretches across the landscape, creating a serene space wrapped in deep greenery and tranquility.
