- Kagoshima Pref. Amamishi Casali MachidoSakari
- White sand beaches and an emerald-green ocean with gradations that gradually change to a cobalt blue are what make Tomori Beach so special. It is also called Blue Angel because of the beauty of the clear blue waters. As it is on the way to the cape from the airport, look for the sign at the entrance to Tomori Beach. Visitors can enjoy swimming in the shallow waters that surround the rocks, but sufficient caution is required as rip currents can take swimmers out to sea.

- Kagoshima Pref. Oshimagunsetouchichou Koniya Revival
- This coast is located at the southern end of Amami Oshima Island. Naturally formed round stones cover the entire coast, and visitors can appreciate the sight and sound of the stones exposed to the ocean waves. It is famous as a power spot, and it is said that disaster will befall anyone who take the stones away, so it is forbidden to remove them. There is also a parking lot with toilets nearby, as many tourists visit this location.

Kagoshima Areas
Over 100 active volcanoes across Kagoshima make it one of the Japan's most exciting prefectures. The prefectural capital, Kagoshima city, looks out to one of the prefecture’s most spectacular volcanoes, Sakurajima, an island of its own that can be visited and seen close up or admired from afar, with the promise of breathtaking sunsets complete with frequent puffs of smoke and ash. Down the Satsuma Peninsula, the most southerly part of mainland Japan, waterfalls, sand onsen, and fascinating history await, while Kagoshima's abundance of satsuma imo (sweet potato) provide a wholesome snack as well as one of Japan's favourite drinks - shochu.
