Cape Sata

Cape Sata （佐多岬） is the southernmost point on the island of Kyushu on the mainland of Kagoshima (prefecture) in Japan.

On a nice day, Cape Sata feels like a quiet tropical hideaway.

Understand

Cape Sata has undergone some changes, and there is far less tourism infrastructure in this beautiful location than there once was. The cape is just south of 31 degrees latitude.

Cape Sata is home to a lighthouse built in 1871, designed by the Scotsman Richard Henry Brunton.

The land is under the jurisdiction of a private company, and costs ¥300 (¥150 for children) to enter with open hours between 8AM and 5PM. The second floor of the observation tower costs an additional ¥200.

Get in and around

As there are no train lines running through almost all of the eastern, or Osumi （大隅）, peninsula of Kagoshima prefecture, traveling by car is practically the only option. From the parking lot, it's a short walk to the cape.

See

Plant life flourishes throughout the shrine at the cape.

The cape presents some magnificent coastal views and a lighthouse. There　is also an observation tower that provides a panorama of the area from behind glass. A nearby shrine is also a great place to take in the sub-tropical plant life.

Do

A glass-bottom boat tour provides a chance to see some coral and underwater life, invigorated by the ”kuroshio” （黒潮）, or "black current," a warm water current flowing up the eastern coast of Kyushu from the south.

gollark: Anyway, the generality of this solution and the fact that they'll probably keep the exact details private for "security"-through-obscurity reasons also means that, as I have written here (https://osmarks.net/osbill/) in a blog post tangentially mentioning it, someone could just feed it hashes for, say, anti-government memes and find out who is saving those.

gollark: Although I suppose that *someone* probably keeps the originals around in case they have to change the hashing algorithm.

gollark: It's trickier on images (see how PyroBot does it...) but not impossible. (since you want moderately fuzzy matching, unlike SHA256 and such, which will produce an entirely different hash if a single bit is flipped)

gollark: Through the magic of cryptography, you can condense arbitrarily big files down to a fixed-length fingerprint and check if that matches, with basically-zero false positive risk.

gollark: Hashes of it.
