    Miyazaki Higashimorokata-gun Kunitomicho Honjo 2097

    天台宗犬熊寺萬福寺。境内駐車場も数台確保されています。枯山水庭園(楽山園)は、中央に数百年を生きた紅梅の名木を配し、吉野の石、京都の白川砂、北山杉などを取り寄せて作られた桃山式の庭園とのこと。訪問時の二月下旬は、園内に咲き誇る紅梅がお見事、アッパレです。お腹一杯になること間違いなし。空腹時の訪問はお控え下さい。

    Miyazaki Higashimorokata-gun Kunitomicho Fukadoshi 4050

    2016年の初日の出を拝んで来ました! ここは和泉式部が身を投げたという歴史的に深い場所なのですが、グラススキーの出来る公園もあります。 国富町の中心から車で20分程の位置なのに標高が高いので、太平洋から昇る太陽を見ることができます。 メインのお寺については、あまり知識を持ち合わせていませんので、別の方のコメントを参照にしてください。

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.
