MIYAZAKI
and VICINITY
Miyazaki City, with a population of 370,000 (as of
January, 2010), is one of the centers of politics, economy and
culture of Southern Kyushu. The climate is subtropical all year
round, and palm and phoenix trees can be seen along the
streets. The main street of the city is Tachibana-dori, with
department stores, souvenir shops and fancy restaurants. The
weather is mild, and there is abundant greenery. Miyazaki is one
of the most popular cities for sightseeing in Japan.
Nichinan Kaiganhas a beautiful coastline stretching
more than 100 km (62 mi.) to the south of Miyazaki City and is
designated as Quasi-National Park.
Kirishima and Ebino Plateau, is the highest hot spring resort in Kyushu. The Kirishima area comprises
the Kirishima Range consisting of 23 peaks. The range extends
almost 16 km (9.9 mi.) between the two outstanding peaks: Mt.
Takachiho-no-mine, alt. 1,574 m (5,163 ft.) and Mt. Karakunidake,
alt. 1,700 m (5,576 ft.).
Takachihois a land of Japanese myths. The Yokagura
(sacred dance and music) festival is held from November until
February of the next year. Every Saturday night, people gather in
one house, drink sake, watch dancers performance, and sing
songs. The dates of the festival change every year.
Note: Transportation expenses, admission fees and other charges may be changed due to the increase in the consumption
tax rate to 8% from April 2014.
