Coastal Landscapes

Miyazaki’s Pacific coastline features a diverse range of geological formations and historical maritime landmarks. This selection spans from the northern cliffs of Hyuga to the southern tip at Kushima. The list includes the grassy headlands of Cape Toi, home to wild Misaki horses since the Edo period, and functional maritime architecture like the climbable Toimisaki Lighthouse. The region is also defined by its professional-grade surfing breaks at KisakiHama and the dramatic coastal views from the Meiji-era Hososhima Lighthouse.
