Shibushi, Coastal city in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan
Located at the base of the Osumi Peninsula, Shibushi stretches along Shibushi Bay with an area of 290 square kilometers and a population of 28,889 residents.
The region developed from a port in Hyuga Province during the Heian period and transformed into part of Satsuma Domain before achieving city status in 2006.
The region maintains its agricultural heritage through the production of high-grade green tea, particularly the Tamaryokucha variety, which received national recognition in 2007.
The transportation network includes access to JR Kyushu Nichinan Line and major routes such as the Higashi-Kyushu Expressway and National Routes 220 and 269.
Shibushi ranks as the second most important tea-producing region in Kagoshima Prefecture, with early harvest seasons enabling small-scale farmers to cultivate premium quality products.
