Making the effort to memorize a little Japanese is one of the most meaningful gestures you can offer to locals you'll encounter in Tanegashima. "Isshoni odorimasenka?" is the Japanese way to say "Would you like to dance with me?" "Where's the toilet?" is also useful, so practice saying "Benjo wa doko desu ka?"
