Tanegashima is a fascinating island where history, science, and beautiful nature coexist. Tanegashima Iwasaki Hotel is located at the southern tip of Minamitane Town, where the Cape Kadokura, known for the introduction of firearms, and the Tanegashima Space Center are situated.

At the 2nd-floor restaurant "Tierra," you can enjoy fresh seafood directly delivered from the Minamitane Fisheries Cooperative, as well as a variety of ingredients from Kagoshima, a treasure trove of food. Seasonal recommended dishes featuring the best ingredients are also available. The Hotel offers a wide range of activities, including kayaking experiences to explore mangroves or land on uninhabited islands, fishing, pottery, and golfing at the Tanegashima Golf Resort, which features a beautifully designed course that takes advantage of the natural landscape. The beach right in front of the Hotel is one of the island's top surf points, allowing you to check the waves from your Room and head straight out for surfing.
