Tanegashima is a long and slim island located 43km south of Cape Sata of Osumi penin-sula, the southernmost tip of Japan’s four big islands. It stretches 58km from north to south and is only about 12km at its widest point. It is known as a “Surfing Mecca” because of the many surfing points scat-tered all around the island. It is also known as the place where matchlock guns were introduced by the Portuguese. Tanegashima is renowned as a gateway to space because of its well-known “Space Center.”
