Best of Miyazaki

Miyazaki’s landscape is defined by the Nichinan Coast’s unique geology and a rich samurai heritage. This selection features the Devil's Washboard, a natural formation of jagged basalt strata, and the hilltop Amaga Castle ruins. Cultural highlights include the Miyazaki Prefectural Art Museum’s international collection and the Miyazaki Science Center, home to one of the world’s largest planetariums. From the subtropical flora of Aoshima to the panoramic Pacific views at Horikiri Pass, these sites represent the region's natural diversity and historical depth.
