Hi, I’m Tabi!
In central Tanegashima, Nakatane offers Kumano Coast in the east and striking rock scenery in the west. Check transport between them and avoid planning an overnight stay at camping facilities closed for construction.
This guide covers places within Nakatane, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Mangroves grow near this coast; the photograph dates from 2010. The Recreation Village campground and log cabins are unavailable from September 1 to December 31, 2026, for construction, while the management building remains available. Check separate announcements for use from 2027 onward.

These paired rocks stand off the coast at Nokan. The story that they are a couple reborn is a local legend. View them from a safe place without entering the roadway or scrambling onto rocks.
