Place famous for fall foliage or new greenery

Gokase Valley

Travel / Tourism

Miyazaki Nishiusuki-gun Gokase Cho Kuraoka

This erosional valley was formed when lava flowed in a belt shape and rapidly cooled during two of Mt. Ado's volcanic eruptions in the distant past. The valley is famous for its beautiful, vivid fall foliage which is produced by the area's high elevation and cold climate. The 60-meter-high Shirataki Waterfall is located nearby, and in the autumn visitors can enjoy the beautiful contrast of the foliage with the spray of the falls.
Mitate Valley

Travel / Tourism

Miyazaki Nishiusuki-gun Hinokagecho Mitate

This valley, situated along the upper reaches of the Hinokage River, consists of a continuous, 24-kilometer-long stretch of picturesque scenery interweaving pure mountain waters and beautiful rock formations created via countless years of erosion. The valley is a popular destination visited by large numbers of people from across the prefecture and beyond enjoying scenic driving in the area. Also known as one of the top spots for fall foliage viewing in the prefecture, the brocade of colorful leaves on the trees along the river is a truly breathtaking sight. A walking course is maintained in the area, making it easy for visitors to enjoy fresh greenery in the spring, stream activities in the summer, fall foliage in the autumn, and frost-covered trees in the winter.

Miyazaki Areas

An unmissable highlight of Kyushu, Miyazaki prefecture satisfies nature lovers with its dramatic gorges cut out of rugged cliffs, leading into waterfalls and beaches of green-blue water popular among surfers. Takachiho Gorge in the north of the prefecture tells a tale of centuries-old Japanese mythology in a fantastic setting, allowing visitors to explore the waters by boat before heading up to the cave at the Awano Iwato Shrine, where the sun goddess was said to have hidden, plunging the world into darkness.
