Cape Sata

The lighthouse of Cape Sata, one of Japan’s oldest, overlooks the immense panorama. To the left it faces the Pacific Ocean and to the right is the East China Sea, with Kinko Bay (Kagoshima Bay) and the ocean at its right rear. On clear days, Tanegashima, Yakushima, and Iwo Jima are visible.
Sunset View at Cape Sata

At twilight, a majestic sight unfolds to impress the greatness of nature upon observers. The island of Kyushu's southernmost tip stirs a variety of thoughts in visitors. Relish the moment as you're caught in the embrace of mountains and sea.

Pedestrian Trail

The 800 m long path provides phenomenal views of the specific flora encompassing Sata, such as bougainvilleas, sotetsu (Cycas revoluta), and gajumaru banyan (Ficus microcarpa).
