Tomori Beach
土盛海岸
A white-sand beach near Amami Airport, where the transparent blue-green water known as “Blue Heaven” is Amami’s most iconic seascape.
Tomori Beach lies on the east coast of Ryugasa Town. The shallow sea enclosed by coral reefs shows layers of color from light green to deep blue in the sunlight, and it is hailed as Amami’s most beautiful beach, “Blue Heaven.” It is only about a 10-minute drive from Amami Airport, so many visitors come here straight after landing. The beach has no lifeguards and few facilities, and the rip currents are strong. Be careful when swimming or snorkeling, and watch for coral and sea urchins at low tide. Admission is free. The nearby car park is small, so arrive early in peak season.
