The area of Reihoku is part of the Amakusa Islands in southwestern Kumamoto. It is situated on the northwestern tip of Shimoshima, the largest of the islands, surrounded by the beautiful sea of the Amakusa Nada to the west and the Chijiwa Nada to the north. The town boasts a superb natural environment with emerald green seas and verdant mountains. A notable local geographical feature is the Tomioka Peninsula, a known tombolo (tied island), whose beautiful sand dunes form a natural harbor. The sandbar extending from the peninsula, called Tomoezaki, is also known as "Shotenkyo" (Little Heavenly Bridge). A major landmark in the broader region is the iconic Kumamoto Castle, a historic fortress and UNESCO World Heritage site component located approximately two hours away by car, representing the rich samurai history of the area.
