    Miyazaki Hyuga-shi Mimitsumachi 3328
    This building is an early Meiji period merchant home called the Yanoya which has been restored and remodeled. Situated in the Mimitsu Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, where an old-fashioned townscape and the area's traditional culture can still be found, the building still looks as it did when first built as a merchant home and is open to the general public. The building incorporates Kyoto and Osaka merchant home-style architecture, such as mushikomado fine-latticed windows, Kyoto-style latticework, and a living room which extends all the way from the entrance to the rear garden. Today, the building is used to host lectures and courses as the New Himuka Urban Development School, and as a training facility and space for interactive history activities.

    Travel / Tourism
    Miyazaki Hyuga-shi Togocho Tsuboya 3
    This is the home where Bokusui Wakayama, a poet who loved sake, traveling, and nature, was born and spent his youth up until entering junior high school. The home was built by his grandfather, Kenkai, in 1845, and one can still see to this day that it was used at the time as a clinic. At the time it was built, it was an extremely lavish home, and the veranda where Bokusui was born, the irori sunken hearth, and numerous other places where the poet spent his youth with his family can still be found throughout the structure. In 1966, the home was designated a Historic Site by Miyazaki Prefecture.

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.
