Minamisatsuma, Coastal city in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan.
Minamisatsuma extends across 283 square kilometers at the southwestern edge of Satsuma Peninsula, featuring sand dunes and a national scenic ria coastline.
The municipality emerged on November 7, 2005, through the consolidation of five towns: Kaseda, Kinpo, Bonotsu, Kasasa, and Oura.
The Ata Shell Mound, designated as a National Historic Site, contains archaeological findings that reveal ancient settlement patterns in the region.

Fukiagehama, located in the northwest section of Minamisatsuma, represents one of Japan's three largest sand dune formations.
