Toi Cape

 

Wild horses are living here. Cape Toi, located in the south of Miyazaki Prefecture, is a cape

at the east end of Shibushi Bay, which is in the southernmost part of the Nichinan kaigan

Coast. Gentle hills extend, and you can observe wild horses, called Misaki-uma, living and

grazing there.

 

---

 

It is said that the Misaki-uma are the descendants of army horses left grazing and which became

wild 300 years ago.

They are now designated as a natural monument. At the Horse House in the Toi-misaki Visitor

Centre, information about the ecology and living circumstances of the Misaki-uma is displayed

on panels.
