The Land of Gods: Encountering Myth's Birthplace in Miyazaki

Miyazaki has long been known as a land steeped in Japanese mythology. Numerous sacred sites remain, including Takachiho—said to be the stage for the descent of the heavenly grandchildren—Miyazaki Jingu Shrine associated with Emperor Jimmu, and the mystical Udo Shrine standing by the sea.

These “sacred lands” are not mere tourist attractions; they are enveloped in a special atmosphere that quietly calms the hearts of visitors. Experiencing Miyazaki's timeless history alongside its seasonal natural beauty will surely deepen your travel memories.
