Miyazaki

Miyazaki Prefecture faces the Pacific Ocean and is blessed with diverse natural environments, from phoenix-lined coastlines to the mountainous landscapes of the Kirishima range. Takachiho Gorge, depicted in the Kojiki as the site of the Descent of the Heavenly Grandson, attracts pilgrims from around the world and has nurtured a unique culture as the Land of Mythology. The lowland areas remain warm even in winter, making it one of Japan's premier sports camp destinations with concentrated spring training for professional baseball and J-League teams. The prefecture boasts nationally renowned agricultural products including Miyazaki Beef, Miyazaki Jitokko chicken, and premium mangoes branded as Taiyo no Tamago (Sun Egg). Visitors can enjoy a fusion of history and resort experiences through Nichinan Coast drives, visits to Aoshima Shrine, and strolls through the samurai residences of Obi Castle Town. The expressway network connects the interior of Kyushu, linking directly to Fukuoka and Oita along the coast. The warm, sunny climate is ideal for golf and outdoor activities, with numerous events held throughout the year.
