Shibushi

Shibushi sits on Shibushi Bay along the Pacific-facing eastern coast of the Ōsumi Peninsula in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, where the broad inlet has fostered a working harbour and a low-lying coastal town. The Port of Shibushi is a major commercial port for southern Kyushu and has regular ferry links, while farmland extends beyond the waterfront. On the slopes above the older districts, the ruins of Shibushi Castle recall the town’s history as a medieval castle settlement. The city balances port activity with the fields and wooded hills of the peninsula rather than a dense urban setting.
