Paradise found in Miyazaki Prefecture!

This stunning destination boasts seaside shrines, unspoiled nature and some of Japan's best surfing beaches.

Whether you're seeking adventure or relaxation, Miyazaki has it all.

Explore the volcanic Takachiho Gorge and marvel at the 17m-high Manai Falls from the observation deck above or from a rowboat below.
Go on an adventure-fueled hike at Ebino Kogen. Think volcanoes, craters, mountains and incredible views.
Visit Aoshima Shrine, located on an island about 100 metres from shore!
Stroll the streets of Obi, a castle town that prospered from around the 16th century for over 280 years. Dress up in a rental kimono and spend the day exploring the town’s many well-preserved samurai residences, shops, galleries, cafes and restaurants.
Witness Takachiho Yokagura, a sacred dance that has been performed for 800 years! Enjoy a short night-time version of this traditional dance at Takachiho Shrine each night. Or if visiting in November, catch the all-night performances on 22 and 23 November.
A serving of one of Miyazaki's famous dishes, chicken namban, is also recommended. It’s deep-fried chicken dipped in a sweet vinegar dressing and commonly served with tartare sauce.
