Why Miyazaki?

Miyazaki sits on the sunny southeast coast of Kyushu. Palm trees line the roads, the surf is good all year, and it gets some of the most sunshine in Japan. Most foreign visitors skip it for Tokyo and Kyoto, so it feels like a secret.

4 places worth the trip

• Takachiho Gorge. Rent a rowboat and paddle under Manai Falls between 80-meter basalt cliffs. In the mountains of northern Miyazaki. Go early, boats sell out. No car? Book a day tour with the boat ride.
• Aoshima Island. A tiny island with a shrine in a palm jungle, ringed by rock ridges called the Devil's Washboard. About 30 minutes south of Miyazaki City by train.
• Udo Shrine. A bright red shrine built inside a sea cave. Throw a clay luck ball at a turtle-shaped rock below; land it in the hollow and your wish comes true.
• Nichinan Coast. The coastal drive south from Aoshima. Stop at Sun Messe Nichinan, home to the only Moai statues outside Easter Island approved by the island's elders.

What to eat

• Chicken nanban. Miyazaki's signature dish: fried chicken dipped in sweet vinegar and topped with tartar sauce. It was born in Nobeoka in northern Miyazaki. Try it at Ogura, the local chain credited with adding the tartar sauce (main shop in central Miyazaki City), or at Nao-chan in Nobeoka, which serves the original vinegar-only style.
• Jidori sumibiyaki. Local free-range chicken grilled over charcoal until smoky and black. Every izakaya in Miyazaki City has its own version.
• Miyazaki beef and mangoes. Both are famous across Japan. Look for them at the airport if you run out of time.

Check hours before you go. Small local restaurants often close one day a week.
