Miyazaki Station

Miyazaki City, capital of Miyazaki Prefecture, is located on the south eastern coast of Kyushu. With one of the warmest climates on the main islands of Japan combined with attractions such as resorts, beaches and sports facilities, Miyazaki was the top honeymoon spot and a popular destination with domestic travelers until the 1980s.

The city has since seen falling visitor numbers, but is now making a comeback due to the efforts of a former comedian, Higashikokubaru Hideo, the current governor of Miyazaki Prefecture. His celebrity and constant efforts to keep Miyazaki in the public eye, have begun to revive the Miyazaki brand.

Miyazaki City is also near attractions such as Takachiho to the north and Kirishima to the southwest, which are both important sites of Japanese mythology and beautiful places to enjoy nature.
