Kushima, Toi Cape and Misaki Horses: A Spectacular Scenic Drive to Japan's Southern Tip

A spectacular scenic drive course in Kushima, Miyazaki Prefecture's southernmost town, heading toward Toi Cape, a paradise for wild horses. First, stock up on your drive essentials at Michi-no-Eki Kushima, browsing fresh morning vegetables and fully ripened kinkan. At Toi Cape, with its undulating green grassland, you'll encounter Misaki Horses, a national natural monument, grazing nearby. For lunch, enjoy the signature Pakala Burger at Toi Cape Tourist Exchange Hall PAKALAPAKA. In the afternoon, gaze out at the endless Pacific Ocean from the observation corridor of Toi Cape Lighthouse, the only publicly accessible visitable lighthouse in Kyushu. Finish your journey at Misaki Shrine, an ancient shrine for matchmaking tucked in the cliffsides. Walk the green path lined with cycads and offer prayers to complete your perfect day-long southernmost cape drive, painted with horses, sea, and lighthouse.
