Tanegashima Space Center on wikipedia
Rough location on google maps of the space museum
EN homepage: http://www.jaxa.jp/visit/tanegashima/index_e.html
- Unclear whether launches are viewable or not
- Tanegashima is a small island near Kagoshima, off the far south-west end of the main island of Japan
- Not crazy-far like Okinawa, more like 50km from the mainland
