    Miyazaki Higashimorokata-gun Ayacho Minamimata 1800-19
    "This glass studio adjoins the Kuramoto Aya Shusen no Mori tourist facility owned and operated by the Unkai Shuzo brewing company. The studio's showroom is overflowing with sparkling glass and displays a wide selection of pieces by the studio, from cute animal figurines to items deftly crated by proclaimed ""modern master"" Kuniaki Kuroki. The studio's Aya kiriko cut glass expresses the traditions and natural beauty of Japan; inspired by the evergreen forests which symbolize Aya Town, these exquisite works of art are garnering attention as the world's first multicolored cut glass. In May, August, and November, the studio holds glassmaking activities such as creating accessories, kiriko cut glass, and blown glass."

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.
