Nakatane Town, located in the central part of Tanegashima, is the administrative and traffic hub of the island, and is the best base area for island trips, where idyllic rural landscapes and beautiful coastlines are comfortably fused. It is widely known globally as a "sacred place for surfing" where professional and amateur surfers from all over the world admire and gather because high-quality and stable waves crash throughout the year. It is full of photogenic superb views such as "Takeyano Beach," where untouched beautiful white sand spreads, and the world's most beautiful sunset sinking in a straight line to the East China Sea at dusk. It is a town where you can luxuriously enjoy island time wrapped in the warm hospitality of the islanders, forgetting the noise of the city completely.
