Located at the southwestern tip of the Satsuma Peninsula and overlooking the deep blue East China Sea, "Makurazaki City" is a vibrant seaside fishing town where the history of traditional "skipjack tuna pole-and-line fishing" still breathes deeply, with a nostalgic scent of the sea drifting in the air. It is globally famous as the "No. 1 production area for Katsuobushi (highest-grade Honkarebushi)," and experiences such as touring traditional authentic shochu making at the long-established "Meiji-gura" and the dynamic experience of roasting fresh skipjack tuna with straw flames are very popular among international tourists. The coastline is full of scenic spots such as "Tategami-iwa," a strange rock carved out by the staggering rough waves. It is an attractive town where you can feel with your own skin the warm humanity unique to a fishing town and the origins of Japan's superb dashi (broth) culture and gourmet food.
