Uto

Uto sits on the Uto Peninsula between the Ariake and Yatsushiro seas in Kumamoto Prefecture, where the coastal lowlands of central Kyushu meet the peninsula’s gentle hills. Southwest of Kumamoto City, it forms part of the route toward the Amakusa islands; JR’s Kagoshima Main Line and Misumi Line meet at Uto Station. Uto Castle, built in the early 17th century for the Katō clan, recalls the area’s role in the feudal history of Higo Province. Tides and farmland continue to shape the surroundings, while Kumamoto’s urban centre remains close by. Browse additional webcams from Kumamoto Prefecture to extend your view of central Kyushu.
