 Tanegashima Services
Information includes: community services, transportation, hotels, shopping, and
restaurants. Please note this information was collected
quite a few years ago and a lot may have changed.
Restaurants come and go on the island and transportation
prices have undoubtedly changed, especially with the
construction of the new military base on neighboring Mageshima. The service information is still useful as a
guide to availability. Might be advisable to visit some of
the links provided or maybe make a few phone calls before
heading out to any of these places. |

 Tanegashima Transportation
These pages cover how to get to, and get around, the island. |
 Tanegashima Hotels
Tanegashima has numerous hotels in the northern city of
Nishinoomote, the central town of Nakatane, and the southern
town of Minamitane.
There is a Japanese style ryokan in Minamitane
town called Kiku. The owner, Hidakasan, is a very kind older
woman who will make sure your stay is comfortable and relaxing. |
 Tanegashima Shopping
Shopping in Tanegashima is certainly much more limited than
the main islands of Japan.
Prices on the island are pretty comparable though to what
we were paying in Nara at Seiyu (Walmart) and maybe even a
little less. The grocery stores need to be at least slightly
competitive in terms of fish and vegetable prices due to the
large farming and fishing communities on the island. |
 Tanegashima Restaurants
Considering the small size of the island,
Tanegashima has a surprising number of restaurants
consisting of a wide variety of cuisine. |
