Miyakozaki Cape, projects from the center of west seashore of Amami Oshima Islad, has the 360-degrees panoramic view of blue and green. Going ahead in the bamboo-like meadow, there's the East Chine Sea expanding so far away. It needs 20 min walk from the parking area, but you can have the supreme feeling when you arrive. I found a endangered species Taiwan Mountain Azalea.
