Wakamikobana is a quiet spot on the coast of Kirishima City.
This cape, where the land juts out into the sea, has been treasured as a sacred place since ancient times.
The "Wakamiko" in the name is said to come from Ninigi-no-Mikoto, a god enshrined at Kirishima Shrine.

It is also known as a spot where you can see a beautiful sunset.
Located on the coastline of Kirishima City, the sky and sea turn crimson red at sunset, creating a fantastic scene that is truly moving.
​Because there are few visitors, it is a hidden spot where you can enjoy the sunset in a quiet environment.
There is also a promenade nearby that stretches out towards the sea, so you can enjoy a leisurely stroll.
If you want to enjoy the sunset, we recommend that you check the sunset time in advance and visit with plenty of time. ​It can also get dark underfoot, so it is a good idea to bring a flashlight or a light to illuminate your feet.
​Watching the sunset at Wakamikobana will be a special experience that will stay in your memory. ​Why not visit it once?
