[Amami Airport] Bus stop on arrival & meal on departure is unexpected cup noodles

Access to Amami Oshima is possible by direct flight from Tokyo, Osaka, Okinawa, Fukuoka, and Kagoshima, as well as by ferry from various places.

Okinawa's rainbow, clouds and zodiac road, Kota Kinabalu's rainbow is also amazing!

Here is an incredible rainbow that I thought was a UFO for a moment. What!? What is that glow in the clouds!? Amazing! I wonder if the light was reflected exquisitely on the clouds!?
