Observatory / Outlook

Komenoyama Observatory

Travel / Tourism

Miyazaki Hyuga-shi Hichiya

This observatory, situated on top of Mt. Komenoyama, is located an 18-minute drive from Hyugashi Station. On clear days, visitors can take in a sweeping view of Hyuga City from the 192-meter-high peak. The mountain also serves as a base for paragliding, and many paragliders take off into the skies from here during the day. The observatory is also known for its night view, and many people from the city and beyond come to this popular from dusk and after to enjoy the sight. The observatory faces the sea, and accordingly visitors who want to take in the city's nightscape are recommended to do so from the observatory's parking lot rather than the observatory itself as it offers a better view.

Miyazaki Kobayashi-shi Minaminishikata 8577-18

Located in a more remote area but it has something interesting if you enjoy to know more about the sky. There is a mini educational introductory session about the galaxy and you can feel the passion...

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.
