Misaki Shrine: The Southernmost Shrine in Mainland Japan

Misaki Shrine is located in the southern part of Kagoshima, at Cape Sata. This shrine is marked by a commemorative stone and is considered a rather remote destination. However, the stunning ocean views make the trip worthwhile.

Nearby, you can visit the Cape Sata Observatory, which offers a panoramic view of the strait. The shrine itself is a nationally designated special protected property, and visitors must endure strong winds, adding to the unique vitality of the experience.
