    Miyazaki Nichinan-shi Futo 1734
    "This swimming beach is located a 30-minute drive south of Horikiri Pass. A continuous stretch of white sands and white rest houses, the coast has even been selected for inclusion in the Selection of Best 100 Beach list. The beach is also situated close to such tourism destinations as Udo Jingu Shrine and Sunmesse Nichinan, and features such as fan palms growing along its length engender a south seas atmosphere. As the beach's waves are gentle, it's a great place for families with small children to play. Additionally, there's a ""seaborne marine pool"" created by square floats joined together on the surface of the ocean off the beach."

  • Izakibana park
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Miyazaki Nichinan-shi
    This park is located on a peninsula three kilometers south on National Route 220 from the urban area of Aburatsu. The park is lush with subtropical plants and its grounds offer a view of the majestic natural beauty of the Pacific Ocean directly beyond. Because it takes around 10 minutes of walking along a path to reach the park's observatory, not many people stop here for sightseeing, but the splendor of the scenery visible from Izakibana is beyond repute. Hibiscuses have been planted on the grounds and great orange tip butterflies are also raised in the park.

    Leisure / Hobbies
    Miyazaki Kushima-shi Honjo 9894
    This fruit park is located a 10-minute drive from Kushima Station. On the park's spacious grounds, visitors can enjoy picking strawberries. The park primarily grows Saga Honoka, a variety of strawberry notable for its high sugar content and low acidity. These strawberries are also very firm and have a relatively long shelf life. In addition, their slim conical shape and glossy red color means they are often used to decorate Western-style confections. The farm grows trees heavy with vivid, sun-yellow Hyuganatsu fruit, a variety of citrus fruit, next to its strawberry greenhouses, and is one of the few places in the prefecture where you can enjoy picking Hyuganatsu.

Miyazaki Areas

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.
