Hyakunodai Park

百之台公園(百之台国立公園展望所)

Kagoshima · Kyushu

A ~700-hectare plateau at 203m elevation formed from uplifted coral-reef limestone in the center of Kikaijima, with a two-story observation deck. Part of Amami Gunto National Park since March 2017.

Why we picked it

The single best vantage point to see the whole island as a rising coral-reef terrace — sugarcane fields down to the coast, with the Pacific Ocean and East China Sea visible simultaneously; one of the "Ten Scenic Views of Amami." Kikaijima had zero prior coverage despite every other Amami island being represented.
