Footloose and fancy free-wheeling
Article Abstract:
The volcanic Japanese island of Amami-Oshima is very different from mainland Japan. It is much quieter, and is almost tropical in appearance. The island is mountainous, and this can present a significant challenge for those who choose to cycle there. However, hard cycling is rewarded with magnificent views of palms, coral reefs and small fishing villages. Local people are friendly to visitors, and farmers are likely to permit camping in their fields.
