Summary: Located in the southernmost part of Honshu, Japan, Kumanoto-cho in Wakayama Prefecture is known as the “City of Tuna Farming.” In 2002, Kindai University achieved a world first by successfully raising bluefin tuna in captivity. Kumanoto-cho now has numerous large tuna farms along its coastline. The waters between Cape Shionomisaki (the southernmost tip of Honshu) and Kii-shima Island are rich in nutrients from the Kuroshio Current, giving the tuna raised here a unique, elegant flavor. One morning, under the gloomy sky typical of the local rainy season, I boarded a small fishing boat from the port on Kii-shima Island. Several circular and square fish farms bobbed on the surface. The boat was piloted by Masaki Yamazaki, who runs a local scuba diving shop. After about five minutes, the boat docked at the target fish farm. This farm, I was told, was a circular farm about 30 meters in diameter and about 20 meters deep. The feed for the tuna is Pacific saury, each about 20 centimeters long. Yamazaki scooped several saury using a long-handled net. The fish were heavy. He then forcefully flung the saury into the pond, and as they landed with a *plop*, *plop*, the spindle-shaped black fish began to gather. I was participating in a “Bluefin Tuna Farming Experience” organized in collaboration with the local tourism association and the fishing cooperative. The fee is 5,500 yen (approximately 254 yuan, 3,300 yen/approximately 152 yuan for elementary school students, and 1,650 yen/approximately 76 yuan for preschoolers), with a minimum of two participants. The fish farm where the feed was being thrown contained tuna that were raised from hatchlings just a few months old. These tuna weigh about 25 kilograms. They need to be farmed for two years, reaching 45 to 60 kilograms before they can be put on the market. It is said that a single pond can hold about 400 tuna, and they require several tons of feed per day. From Kii-shima Island, looking out toward Honshu, the scenery unfolds. The tuna farms are located on the right side of the view. “Kindai University has been researching tuna farming in Kumanoto for half a century. In my childhood, we would take the fish we caught to the research facility, and the students there would fillet them for us,” recalled Masaki Yamazaki, 60, as he shared his childhood memories. Ryū Yoshida, who runs the tuna farm Maruha Suisan, added, “Nowadays, without tuna farming, it’s hard to imagine what Kumanoto’s fishery would be like. It’s like night and day compared to the time when they mainly raised yellowtail.” The weather in Kumanoto is mild year-round, with relatively small temperature fluctuations in the water. Because there are no large rivers flowing into the area, freshwater does not flow into the ocean, and salinity levels remain stable. Although the Kuroshio Current brings in fresh water rich in oxygen, the waters between Cape Shionomisaki and Kii-shima Island are calm. The required 30 to 50 meters of water depth for setting up fish farms is also available here. Yoshida states, “This is a perfect area for raising tuna.” Under a light rain, we viewed the group of oddly shaped rocks called Hashigui-iwa, and boarded the boat to return to the port. We then crossed the Kumanoto Bridge back to Honshu. This “Farming Experience” also included a chance to try some of the local delicacies at the “Kishu Nagisa Station, Mimizu Matsuri” commercial facility. Sitting at a window seat, gazing out at the offshore fish farms we had just visited, I savored the tuna sashimi. My appetite was whetted, and then I headed to the Cape Shionomisaki observation tower. At the restaurant next to the observation deck, I ordered a “Kindai Tuna Rice Bowl” (1,700 yen, approximately 78.3 yuan). As the name suggests, Kindai (Kindai University) provides the tuna for this dish, which is raised in Kumanoto. Two pieces of tuna akami (lean red meat), two pieces of chu-toro (medium fatty), and one piece of o-toro (fatty tuna) top the rice. After adding wasabi and soy sauce, it was ready to eat. “The characteristic of our farmed tuna,” said Head Chef Masahiro Yoshida, “is its elegant sweetness and rich texture, with very little of the fishy taste typical of fat.” I took a taxi, about a 10-minute ride, to the Kumanoto-cho Town Hall located on a hilltop. In 2021, due to concerns about damage from tsunamis, the Kumanoto-cho government offices were relocated here. “Kumanoto is the city of tuna farming. But that’s not all,” emphasized Shintarō Matsuyama of the Kumanoto-cho Industry Division. Along the coast, you’ll find unique rock formations, such as Hashigui-iwa, and the nearby Mumyō-ji Temple near the JR Kumanoto Station displays numerous famous works by the Edo period painter Nagasawa Rōsetsu, such as *Tiger Painting* and *Dragon Painting*. At the accommodation facilities, you can relax in hot springs after a day of exploring. I also recall how the launch of the Japanese small rocket “Kairos” from this area caught the attention of the whole nation. As I boarded the limited express train “KUROSHIO” to return, the Pacific Ocean was bathed in sunlight, looking even more dazzling than on my outbound journey. **By Hiroji Tamura, The Nikkei (Chinese edition: Nikkei Chinese) ** **【Recommended Attractions】 The Southernmost Tip of Honshu – Cape Shionomisaki** Cape Shionomisaki is a cape that juts out into the Pacific Ocean in Kumanoto-cho, Wakayama Prefecture. Here, you can experience the “southernmost point of Honshu.” The observation deck of the Cape Shionomisaki Observatory Tower is 100 meters above sea level. The views from the observatory are 360 degrees. In the winter, the sun rises and sets at the same point on the horizon. You can also see the Kii mountain range, including Nachi-san, in the distance. At the lighthouse, you can get a “Southernmost Point of Honshu Visit Certificate.” The wide grassy plains lie south of the observation deck at Cape Shionomisaki. The Japanese haiku poet Yamaguchi Seishi wrote, “太陽の出でて没（い）るまで青岬（Watching the sun rise and set at Aomimisaki),” about this place. When you reach the southernmost point, you’ll see a stone monument inscribed with “Cape Shionomisaki, Southernmost Point of Honshu.” Standing before the vast ocean, time seems to stand still.
