Not Easter Island! This is Miyazaki, Kyushu, Japan! Summers in Miyazaki are as bright and beautiful as a Studio Ghibli film! Here's my one-day itinerary. Although I call it a day trip, I traveled from Oita to Miyazaki, arriving in the afternoon. Still, I made the most of it. For information on how to get to Miyazaki and must-see spots, please see below. ANA Holiday Inn Nichinan Sun Messe Park There's a bus stop right in front of the hotel. Be sure to sit on the left side of the bus on your way to Sun Messe Park for stunning views of the Nichinan Coast, including the unique natural wonder, the "Oni-no-Sentakuita" (Devil's Washboard) rock formations. Spend about an hour at Nichinan Sun Messe Park. Climb to the top for panoramic views, then head down to take photos with the Moai statues. This is the only place in the world authorized by Easter Island to replicate seven of these iconic figures. Nichinan Sun Messe Park - Aoshima Shrine Aoshima Shrine is uniquely situated on a small island, accessible by foot. Be mindful of the tide schedule and avoid visiting too late in the day. Known for its blessings for romantic relationships, the shrine is a popular destination for couples. After returning from the island, relax at the beach park and enjoy the sunset. Allow 1-1.5 hours for Aoshima Shrine, then return to the hotel for a hot spring soak and dinner. Food recommendations: Miyazaki beef, charcoal-grilled chicken, and fully ripened mangoes. This trip was a bit of a whirlwind tour, covering Kyushu in 7 days, leaving only one day for Miyazaki. If I had another day, I'd also visit: Takachiho Gorge, Udo Shrine, and Obi Castle. I'll save those for next time. If anyone goes, please share some photos! Public transportation in Miyazaki runs less frequently, so check the schedules in advance. Also, Miyazaki is hosting the "Miyazaki Food and Lantern Night" this year! This vibrant summer event runs from August 2nd to 18th.

Oni's Washboard (Oni's Washboard) is a natural landscape with spectacular wavy rock formations located on the southeastern coast of Miyazaki Prefecture. The reason for the formation of Oni's Washboard is that the sedimentary rocks raised in the sea have been continuously washed by waves for thousands of years. The softer sediments were slowly washed away by erosion, and the hard sandstone formed the iconic wave structure, leaving a mark on the beach. The bottom looks like washboard marks. The Oni's Washboard is truly a miraculous work of nature and a must-see attraction when visiting Miyazaki. You can go to Miyazaki Aoshima Shrine to watch it. There is a huge area of ​​landscape, a huge ocean view, and you can get close to the ghost washboard. You can see it most clearly when the tide is low. #naturalscape #100 Ways to Travel
