    Miyazaki Pref. Nishiusukiguntakachihochou Shimono 2221-2
    This is an undiluted sake storehouse for the Kagura Shuzo brewery, famous for products such as the mugi (barley) shochu Kurouma and soba (buckwheat) shochu Tensho. Originally a tunnel for the Trans-Kyushu railroad, construction was stopped due to flooding but gained new life as a barrel storage facility for shochu due to its unchanging temperature and humidity. Around 1,300 barrels are stored in the 1,115-meter-long tunnel, through which the rich aroma of vapor shochu drifts. At the facility’s tourism center, one can try the stored distilled spirit for free.

    A cool winery, using an old train tunnel to store barrels. Different kinds of wine are available for free tasting. Worth to stop by after visiting the gorge. You may also shop for local omiyage at...

    JTBのツアーで霧島温泉から宮崎の青島に向かう途中で立ち寄りました。駐車場にはここの焼酎を醸造する際に使われる美味しい水が水道になっていて汲み放題です。コロナ禍で会ったので工場見学や試飲は中止になっていました。ショップでは宮崎限定の「霧島」やアルコール度数36度の「霧島志比田工場原酒」が売っているので買い求めました。もちろん赤霧島や黒霧島も売っています。表には霧島創業記念館やベーカリーもあるので見...

    Miyazaki Pref. Koyuguntsunochou Kawakita 14609-20
    This winery is located in Tsuno Town, Koyu County. The wine is made from 100 per cent locally grown grapes. The winery offers inspections of the wine making process, wine tasting, and a produce shop. In addition, various events such as a farm produce harvesting experience, live jazz concerts, and barbecue lunches are held.

    Other places use paper cups for tastings during the coronavirus era but this winery simply did away with tastings. It made our special trip to the winery a big disappointment. We came planning to buy...

    Miyazaki Nichinan-shi Kitagocho Gonohara Ko 888-banchi
    "This shochu ""dojo"" adjoins the breweries of Inoue-Syuzo and Sakuranosato-Syuzou. The dojo was opened with the aim of passing on the techniques of authentic shochu, a traditional industry in southern Kyushu. The dojo is a reproduction of a Meiji/Taisho period brewery and is made of Obi cedar, once a local specialty product. The dojo engages in the production of shochu year-round, making it possible for visitors to view the production process whenever they visit. Visitors can also participate in a shochu-making activity and blend together six varieties of shochu as they see fit to produce a one-of-a-kind, original shochu (advance reservation required)."

    It was a great experience to see how sochu is made and to have an endless supply of all the varieties (looked like about 50) on hand to sample, with what seemed to be small bottomless cups. For the...

    Miyazaki Saito Kanoda 11365-1
    This local specialty products center for tourists is located inside the Saito Factory of Kagura Shuzo, a brewing company established in 1954. Here visitors can tour the museum; sample the company's shochu; watch a water and myth-themed movie; and purchase local specialty products. In order to convey to visitors the wonders and brand image of the company's new brewery, the facility shows a movie which tells the legend behind Saito's spring water, an essential ingredient for making the company's shochu, utilizing stunningly beautiful imagery and novel water-based mechanisms. There are also exhibits such as a video projection of water which ripples based on people's movements, and a workshop where you can make your own original shochu. A veritable theme park, you'll be able to enjoy hours of fun here.

    東九州自動車道の西都ICを降りて、高屋温泉に向かう途中に位置しています。焼酎メーカーである神楽酒造の新しい蔵に隣接する施設で、観光施設化しています。焼酎工場の見学ができるほか、焼酎の製造工程をパネルで展示したアグリ館では、神楽酒造の焼酎を買い求めることもでき、試飲もOKです。もちろん、車を運転する人の試飲はご法度となっています。

Miyazaki Areas

around-area-map

An unmissable highlight of Kyushu, Miyazaki prefecture satisfies nature lovers with its dramatic gorges cut out of rugged cliffs, leading into waterfalls and beaches of green-blue water popular among surfers. Takachiho Gorge in the north of the prefecture tells a tale of centuries-old Japanese mythology in a fantastic setting, allowing visitors to explore the waters by boat before heading up to the cave at the Awano Iwato Shrine, where the sun goddess was said to have hidden, plunging the world into darkness.
