Cape Nagasakibana

3 of 3 in Satsuma Peninsula

Cape Nagasakibana (長崎鼻岬, Nagasakibana Misaki) is a breathtaking spot at the southern tip of the Satsuma Peninsula, where you'll find a charming lighthouse, stunning coastal views, and a walking path lined with souvenir shops. The cape offers one of the best views of Mount Kaimondake—nicknamed "Satsuma Fuji" for its perfect cone shape—rising 924 meters above sea level. Adventurous travelers can even hike the mountain for panoramic views of the area.

Nearby, you'll find the Nagasakibana Parking Garden, home to tropical plants and friendly animals like lemurs, flamingos, and monkeys. It’s a fun stop for families and nature lovers. A short drive north leads to Flower Park Kagoshima, where even more exotic plants await. Though it's not the southernmost point of Kyushu, this coastal gem is full of beauty, nature, and unforgettable photo ops.
