Located in the center of the Osumi Peninsula and embraced by the vast Kinko Bay and the lush Takakuma mountain range, "Kanoya City" is a vibrant hub for Osumi tourism that comfortably blends unspoiled, rich natural environments with deep historical culture. At the "Kanoya Rose Garden," which boasts one of Japan's largest vast grounds, a panorama of colors unfolds with tens of thousands of beautiful roses blooming in spring and autumn, making it a perfect photo spot for international tourists. Additionally, there is the "Kanoya Air Base Museum," which conveys precious aviation history from World War II, allowing one to deeply reflect on the romantic history of modern Japan from the aesthetic sense of the samurai. As a treasure trove of gourmet food, such as the special fresh, top-class "Kanoya Kanpachi" (greater amberjack) and Kurobuta pork, it also attracts foodies from all over the world.
