Hi, I’m Tabi!
Minamitane in southern Tanegashima offers space facilities and wave-shaped coastal scenery. Check launch-related access restrictions and tide times before planning the day.
This guide covers places within Minamitane, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

The photograph shows a distant view of the Osaki launch range in 2009. Visits follow designated public areas and operating conditions; facility bus tours require advance booking. Check JAXA’s latest notices for launch or work restrictions.
Getting there Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
This sea cave was shaped by waves on Hamada Coast. The 2009 image shows the outer coast, not the cave interior. Access is limited to low tide and also depends on waves and weather; follow local guidance.

Look for Anno sweet potatoes and sweets made with them. These are also produced elsewhere on the island, so check origin and availability rather than treating them as exclusive to Minamitane.
