Japan's Miyazaki Beach Vacation: Charming Coastline and Abundant Delicacies~ Sunrises and Sunsets are Incredibly Beautiful!

Located in southern Japan's Miyazaki Prefecture, with its endless coastline and warm climate, it is an ideal destination for year-round travel. Whether you want to relax on the beach or explore natural wonders, I highly recommend visiting Miyazaki. Let's embark on this journey filled with sunshine and sea breeze together!

When it comes to the seaside of Miyazaki, one has to mention Qingdao Coast. This 10-kilometer long stretch of beach is renowned for its delicate white sand and azure seawater. You can enjoy sunbathing, swimming, surfing and other water activities, or simply stroll along the beach, admiring the magnificent Pacific Ocean scenery. Besides the enchanting seascape, Qingdao Coast also has a unique landmark—Ghost's Washing Board. This peculiar landform is composed of white sandstone. Over years of seawater erosion and crustal uplift, it has formed rows of neat grooves, resembling a giant washing board, hence its name. Standing on this rocky terrain, listening to the sound of waves crashing and feeling the wonders of nature, is definitely an unforgettable experience.

Located in the southern part of Miyazaki Prefecture, Nichinan Coast is a UNESCO Global Geopark known for its unique geological formations and rich biodiversity. One of its most famous attractions is the large cliff at Ukiha Shrine, standing over 70 meters high, with prominent folds and rock layers that record hundreds of millions of years of Earth's transformation. Standing on the clifftop overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the magnificent sea view and unique geological wonders leave one in awe of nature's magnificence. Besides the large cliff, Nichinan Coast has many other attractions worth exploring, especially "Sun Messe Nichinan," a themed park known for its seven Moai statues, which are beautiful from sunrise to sunset!

When you're tired of playing, of course you have to enjoy Miyazaki's cuisine! As a coastal city, Miyazaki is famous for its fresh seafood. There is a wide variety of seafood here, from various fish to shellfish and crustaceans. You can go to the local fishing port to taste freshly caught seafood or to restaurants by the sea to enjoy a carefully prepared seafood feast. Among them, what you must not miss is Miyazaki beef. This world-renowned premium Wagyu beef is praised for its evenly distributed marbling and tender, juicy meat. In Miyazaki, you can taste various parts of Miyazaki beef, whether it's sukiyaki, shabu-shabu, or grilled directly, it will satisfy your taste buds to the fullest. Other local specialties like "native chicken" dishes, cold noodles, and Hinode citrus are also highly recommended!

Besides enjoying the leisurely seaside time, Miyazaki has many unique experiences worth exploring. For example, you can ride a horse at "Mutsuroyama," located at the border of Miyazaki and Kagoshima Prefecture. Under the guidance of professional coaches, you can ride gentle steeds and stroll leisurely on verdant grasslands, feeling the harmony between man and nature. If you are interested in history and culture, you might as well visit Miyazaki Shrine. This shrine, rebuilt in 1907, is the guardian shrine of Miyazaki Prefecture. The main hall and worship hall inside the shrine all show a solemn and dignified atmosphere. Located in the forest, it enhances the beauty of the shrine.

This is the Miyazaki Seaside Vacation Guide, the charming coastal scenery and rich cuisine will really make you want to go again and again. Come to Miyazaki and start a wonderful trip full of sunshine, sea breeze and delicious food! There is also other information provided for you:
