Miyazaki travel guide

In Miyazaki, the guides here centre on Takachiho and its gorge. The decisions are whether the trip from Kumamoto or Fukuoka is worth it, which activities need reserving ahead, and whether to stay the night so you can catch the evening kagura.

The Takachiho Gorge guide explains what to see, how to reserve the rental boats and the night kagura, and the bus routes in. Start there if you are still deciding whether the gorge belongs on your route at all. The Takachiho stay guide then makes the case for the Mitai town center, with notes on the last bus out and when Iwato, Gokase or Nobeoka suit you better. Open it after the visit is booked and you need a bed nearby.
