The Amami Islands is an archipelago in the Satsunan Islands, which is part of the Ryukyu Islands, and is southwest of Kyushu. Administratively, the group belongs to Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. The Geospatial Information Authority of Japan and the Japan Coast Guard agreed on February 15, 2010, to use the name of Amami-guntō for the Amami Islands. Prior to that, Amami-shotō was also used. The name of Amami is probably cognate with Amamikyu, the goddess of creation in the Ryukyuan creation myth.
