Cape Toi

都井岬

Miyazaki · Kyushu

A southern-tip headland in Kushima City within Nichinan Kaigan Quasi-National Park; home to the free-roaming Misaki-uma, a nationally protected native horse breed dating to the Edo period, plus a historic lighthouse open for interior tours (rare in Kyushu).

Why we picked it

Remote — a genuine detour south of Nichinan/Obi rather than a drive-by stop — so it stays far less crowded than Aoshima despite equally strong visuals.
