Miyazaki City 宮崎市

Miyazaki : la ville des palmiers et des mythes shintô

Miyazaki est une ville agréable située dans la province éponyme, au sud-est de l’île de Kyushu. Avec son climat doux toute l’année (Miyazaki est la ville la plus ensoleillée du Japon), sa côte très fréquentée par les surfeurs et ses larges rues bordées de palmiers (symboles de la ville), Miyazaki a un air tropical. C’était d’ailleurs la destination favorite des Japonais pour leur voyage de noce jusqu’au début des années 1980.  Mais la ville et sa région sont aussi et surtout un lieu de légendes et de mythes fondateurs du Japon. Bienvenue au "Himuka no Kuni" :  lepays du soleil levant. 

Aoshima Island

About 15 kilometers from Miyazaki, Aoshima Island is Miyazaki's top destination. You can get there on foot via a bridge or by tuk-tuk!

This small island of 1.5 kilometers in circumference is distinguished by the strange rock formations that surround it. They are nicknamed Oni no Sentaku-ita, "the devil's washboards" because their bumps and hollows are reminiscent of old washboards. These rocks eroded by winds and tides also line much of the coast south of Miyazaki.

You can try to attract luck by throwing a small "undama" stone (lucky ball). Women throw them with the right hand and men with the left hand. If you can throw your undama into the circle on a rock below, luck will smile on you.

Access: to visit these different sites, it is possible to buy a bus pass for 1500 yen (about $12.50/11.50€) in front of Miyazaki station and visit Aoshima and Udo Jingu which are on the same line. Count one day to enjoy the two sites because the buses are not very frequent. In summer, you can also get off at the Futo stop to enjoy its very pretty little beach.

Miyazaki's culinary specialties

The prefecture is famous for its mangoes. However, their exorbitant price may not allow you to taste them (around $13.25/12€ minimum for a mango), especially since the season extends from May to July. If you don't eat the fruit, you can console yourself with sorbets, crushed ice cream, or even mango smoothies.

Miyazaki beef is very famous and has even been selected as the best beef in Japan.

Nanban chicken: fried chicken with a vinegar sauce and covered with a tartar sauce.

Another unique specialty is hiyashijiru, cold miso soup that is poured over rice topped with tofu and thin slices of cucumber.

Le bœuf de Takaharu (connu aussi sous le nom de bœuf de Miyazaki)
