    Ask when booking whether luggage storage is available before check-in.

    Check whether your stay includes dinner or choose somewhere to eat in the village.

Day 2: Ama Beach

Practical information on the island

These are the details most likely to cause confusion after arrival: where to leave your luggage, where the village bus departs, what facilities each beach has, and where to find an ATM.

Prices, opening hours, and available facilities can change. Check signs on site and official information before your visit.

Where to leave your luggage near the port

The ferry waiting area is not the only place with lockers. We also found three locker sizes inside Zamami-Mun Market, and a luggage-storage service was available near the port.

The village bus leaves from Ao no Yukuru Kan

The stop is in front of the Ao no Yukuru Kan Visitor Center, near Zamami Port.

See the bus stop and how to buy tickets

Buy your ticket from the vending machine inside before boarding. Finding both the visitor center and the bus stop as soon as you arrive makes the beach transfer easier.
