From Wikipedia

The Amami Islands (奄美群島, Amami Guntō; Japanese pronunciation: [ä́.mä̀.mʲì, ä̀.mä́.mʲí ɡɯ̈́ǹ.tò̞ò̞]) are a Japanese 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 (奄美群島) for the Amami Islands. Prior to that, Amami-shotō (奄美諸島) was also used.
