Mt. Nagata at a height of 1,886 meters is the second highest mountain in Kyushu after Mt. Miyanoura. A spectacular view of Mt. Nagata can be seen from the village of Nagata. Mt. Nagata is the only mountain of the Okudake Mountains (the inner mountains of Yakushima Island) that can be seen fully without climbing. From its summit, you can see the Yakusugi cedar forest, the sea turtle nesting beach, and coral reefs. Huge granite outcrops on the summit of Mt. Nagata make for a unique landscape.
