Jutting out from Tatsugo Town on Amami Oshima, "Cape Miyakozaki," also known as "Sasanto," is a stunning coastal scenic destination whose appeal lies in an overwhelming sense of freedom, with a sweeping, grand ocean view of the East China Sea spreading out before you. Walking along the trail leading to the tip of the cape, the trees blocking the view disappear, revealing an extraordinary, unique landscape entirely carpeted in a gorgeous grassland of short bamboo called Ryukyu-chiku. The contrast woven by the blue sky, green bamboo carpet, and ultramarine ocean is incredibly photogenic, earning high praise from international hikers. Feeling the refreshing and exhilarating sea breeze with your entire body, it is a power spot filled with wild natural energy where you can gaze over the horizon and truly feel the roundness of the Earth.
