From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nagasakibana (長崎鼻, Nagasakibana) is a common name used for various headlands in Japan. They may also known as Cape Nagasakibana (長崎鼻岬, Nagasakibana Misaki). The name is also used for the geothermal area in Ibusuki associated with Cape Nagasakibana, Kagoshima,[1] and its coastal area.[2] This coastal area of 55 km2 (21 sq mi) is a loggerhead sea turtle feeding ground at the southern limit in Japan of eel grass beds.[3]

The name of the city Nagasaki (長崎, Nagasaki) means long cape and 鼻 means nose in Japanese,[4] so helping to explain further this English language wide use in names of geographical features.

These headlands include:
