Sata Cape

Sata Cape marks the southern tip of the Ōsumi Peninsula and the mainland of Kyūshū. Steep cliffs overlook the sea, where warm waters influenced by the Kuroshio support corals and tropical fish. Cycads and other warm-climate plants grow on the land above. Beyond the cape lies the Ōsumi Strait, separating Kyūshū from the islands farther south.
