    Miyazaki Hyuga-shi Mimitsumachi 3328
    This building is an early Meiji period merchant home called the Yanoya which has been restored and remodeled. Situated in the Mimitsu Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, where an old-fashioned townscape and the area's traditional culture can still be found, the building still looks as it did when first built as a merchant home and is open to the general public. The building incorporates Kyoto and Osaka merchant home-style architecture, such as mushikomado fine-latticed windows, Kyoto-style latticework, and a living room which extends all the way from the entrance to the rear garden. Today, the building is used to host lectures and courses as the New Himuka Urban Development School, and as a training facility and space for interactive history activities.

    Travel / Tourism
    Miyazaki Hyuga-shi Togocho Tsuboya 3
    This is the home where Bokusui Wakayama, a poet who loved sake, traveling, and nature, was born and spent his youth up until entering junior high school. The home was built by his grandfather, Kenkai, in 1845, and one can still see to this day that it was used at the time as a clinic. At the time it was built, it was an extremely lavish home, and the veranda where Bokusui was born, the irori sunken hearth, and numerous other places where the poet spent his youth with his family can still be found throughout the structure. In 1966, the home was designated a Historic Site by Miyazaki Prefecture.

  • Obi Castle Ote-mon Main Gate
    Travel / Tourism
    Miyazaki Nichinan-shi Obi 10
    This imposing watchtower gate, made of Obi cedar from trees over a century old, is located at the site of the ruined Obi Castle, which once served as the symbol of Obi Domain, whose wealth was evaluated about 66 square kilometers. The structure is the first visitors to Obi Castle will see. Obi Castle was demolished during the early Meiji period but was later rebuilt as a history museum as part of the Obi Castle Restoration Project in 1978. The gate is a faithful recreation of how it looked during the Edo period, down to details such as the wooden watari yagura roofed passageway, and authentic kawara roof tiles.

    Miyazaki Nichinan-shi Obi 10-1-1
    This palace is a recreation of the several which were built in the vicinity of Obi Castle. Rebuilt in 1979, the palace is constructed in the Edo period shoin-zukuri style. The palace consists of over 20 rooms, including the goza-no-ma lord's living room, a tearoom, bedchamber, and storehouse. The shingle roofed bathing cabinet, made entirely of hinoki cypress, is modeled after the national treature Nishihonganji Temple's Hiunkaku pavilion. The surrounding room was built using cedar trees over 100 years old and faithfully recreates the unique, sauna-like architecture of such facilities which existed during the Edo period. The bathing cabinet was recreated thanks to the donations of numerous local residents, and their names are inscribed on the underside of the roofing tiles.

    This merchant estate conveys the history and culture of Obi's merchant estates to modern generations.

    Miyazaki Nichinan-shi Obi 9-1-1
    This archetypical samurai residence was built in 1869 by Ito Sukeyori, lord of Obi Domain. The residence was named after a large, several-hundred-year-old camphor tree on the grounds. A yakuimon gate stands at the entrance, and the large grounds are occupied by a main residence, sukiya-zukuri-style teahouse, zosha servants' quarters and storehouse, and kura storehouse. The residence is said to have been one of the most prominent of the samurai residences around Obi Castle. The rock garden sprawling on the south side of the residence was created in the samurai, bugaku-ryu style. The famous garden is one of the best in the entire Kyushu region both in terms of its size and superb state of preservation.

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.
