  • Kamichino Tourist Activity Orchard Kushima Strawberry Patch
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Miyazaki Kushima-shi Honjo 9894
    This fruit park is located a 10-minute drive from Kushima Station. On the park's spacious grounds, visitors can enjoy picking strawberries. The park primarily grows Saga Honoka, a variety of strawberry notable for its high sugar content and low acidity. These strawberries are also very firm and have a relatively long shelf life. In addition, their slim conical shape and glossy red color means they are often used to decorate Western-style confections. The farm grows trees heavy with vivid, sun-yellow Hyuganatsu fruit, a variety of citrus fruit, next to its strawberry greenhouses, and is one of the few places in the prefecture where you can enjoy picking Hyuganatsu.

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.
