""Itchaga"" means ""it's good"" in the local Miyazaki dialect, and the market was built based on the desire to help people purchase wonderful products safely and with peace of mind. Serving as a bridge between producers and consumers, the market holds a variety of events, such as a morning market every third Saturday of the month, special gift events, and rock-paper-scissor rallies in which the winners can get prizes."

    Miyazaki Saito Onozaki 1-8
    This eel restaurant was established in 1848 during the rule of Tokugawa Ieyoshi. The restaurant serves choice, domestic eel which is plump and loaded with fat. All of the restaurant's eel cuisine is prepared with unsparing time and effort. Its eel is butchered on-site and broiled to order, and customers rave about the chewy, crispy, smoky eel. The restaurant's exquisite eel is also slathered in a secret recipe sweet and salty sauce, added onto since the establishment first opened its doors, which further enhances the flavor; the moment you pop a bite into your mouth, you'll experience an explosion of perfect chewiness and juiciness. The shirayaki-style sumiso-ae eel, which is served with a full-bodied, sour, and light sumiso (vinegar and miso sauce), is also popular.

    西都市には鰻屋さんが多く、皆さん好みもバラバラです。 この店は、宮崎県の東国原元知事がイチオシのお店で、地域の方達から支持されているお店です。 特徴としてはタレが甘く、鰻がパリフワなところであり、肝吸いではなく呉汁が提供されるところです。 また、店内は昭和の香り漂う風情がなんとも言えませんので、是非オススメしたいお店です。

    Miyazaki Saito-shi Miyake Kokubun 3187
    "This Buddhist temple is one of the Kokubunji Buddhist temples and nunneries built across the country on the order of Emperor Shomu in the Nara period. Just when the temple was erected is not clear, but as the land of Hyuga is recorded alongside Echigo and Tanba in the passages of the ancient ""Shoku Nihongi"" history text, it is believed the temple was founded sometime in a 16-year period between 741 and 756. In ancient times, the temple's grounds spanned some four hectares and it is said to have had a Kondo main temple, lecture hall, and pagoda, but these were lost in a fire in 1791. The temple's five statues depicting Ratnasambhava, Bhaisajyaguru, Mahavairocana, Amitabha, and Gautama Buddha were completed the following year as part of efforts to restore the temple."

    Miyazaki Saito Nakazuma 1-12
    This Japanese confectionary shop was established in 1913. The shop continues to make old-fashioned Japanese sweets which emphasize tradition, as well as creative Western-style Japanese confections which explore new possibilities. The famous Joan Monaka wafer cakes containing four varieties of fillings sandwiched between toasty wafers are the shop's most-well known sweets. Customers can enjoy the unique characteristics of each filling -coarse and smooth types of sweet bean paste made with azuki beans from Hokkaido and Bicchu in Okayama; matcha paste made with quality green tea from Kyoto; and yuzu paste made with an abundance of yuzu citrus fruits from Saito City's Shiromi. The Kuromame Bolo, black soybean paste wrapped in a cookie crust made with plenty of honey, are also popular.
  • Hayakawa Shrine
    Travel / Tourism
    Miyazaki Saito-shi Minamikata 183-2
    "This Shinto shrine stands some six kilometers north of downtown Saito City. The shrine's principle god is Seoritsuhime-no-Mikoto, but the shrine is also dedicated to four gods of purification. It is believed that seven waterfalls with names such as ""Man Falls,"" ""Woman Falls,"" and ""Snake Falls"" were located in the area in ancient times, and it is said that what is now called Ryujin (""Dragon God"") Falls located near the main shrine building was once ""Snake Falls."" In turn, it is believed that the shrine's unique method of prayer, which involves visitors making an offering of an egg, is derived from the ancient practice of worshiping the dragon gods of the seven waterfalls. The shrine sees many international visitors. Famously, praying to the shrine is said to grant such benefits as peace and prosperity in the household, success in academic endeavors, luck in passing any and all exams, and the exorcism of evil and unlucky influences."

    天皇誕生日の翌日ハナキンに訪問。道の駅というか一般的なお土産店。本来は周囲のミュージアムを訪問予定でしたが、祝日の翌日は休館の模様。神話の里にあるまじき神対応というか塩対応。はな、はな、はな、と萎えること必定。大喝!です。

    結論から云うと展示入替休館日で入館できず!! (といってもHPにはちゃんと年間スケジュールが出ています) 思い付きで行動するとこういったことになる・・・という悪い見本の様になってしまいました。 高鍋町に居て「時間があるから・・・」と向かったのですが、残念な結果になりました。 年間では1-2カ月に1回展示替えが数日ある様です。 中を拝見できなかったので評価は出来ませんが、山奥で絵本を展示していること...

    現在は、城山公園という名前の広場になっています。 高台の上にありますが、車で頂上までいけます。 小さな天守のような建物がありますが、他は何もありません。その割に駐車場が大きくて、第2駐車場まであります。 高台から町を見下ろすことができ、展望台と考えて良いかと思います。

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.
