    国道１０号下り方面、宮崎県で一番格式の高い「日向国一之宮」に位置付けられた都農神社を超えた所にある道の駅。敷地内にはパンダの遊具も置かれています。シャンシャンではなさそう。株主総会等各種会議がシャンシャンと終了するか不明。

    Miyazaki Saito-shi Tsuma 1
    "A 10-minute drive or three kilometers from the Saito Interchange on the Higashi-Kyushu Expressway. Dedicated to the princess goddess Konohanasakuya-hime-no-Mikoto, the shrine's name appears in ancient ""Shoku Nihon Koki"" Japanese history text, as well as in the register of shrines in the ancient ""Engishiki"" law book. According to legend, Ninigi-no-Mikoto fell in love with the princess at first site and held a wedding ceremony, thus becoming known as a god of love and marriage, while the princess safely gave birth to triplets and in turn became known as a goddess of safe childbirth and childrearing. During the Koisai Festival held on July 7th, the wedding ceremony is recreated in an unusual ritual which has been conducted continuously for around five hundred years."

    天照大神は孫のニニギノミコトを高天原から地上に遣わし（天孫降臨）、乱れた国を治めました。その妻が絶世の美女とされるコノハナサクヤヒメで、二人は日本で初めて結婚式を挙げたとされています。都萬神社にはこの神様が祀られているので、幸せを求める女性から篤く信仰されています。 境内には縁結びを求めてハート形の絵馬が奉納されていました。

    Miyazaki Pref. Koyuguntsunochou Kawakita 14609-20
    This winery is located in Tsuno Town, Koyu County. The wine is made from 100 per cent locally grown grapes. The winery offers inspections of the wine making process, wine tasting, and a produce shop. In addition, various events such as a farm produce harvesting experience, live jazz concerts, and barbecue lunches are held.

    Other places use paper cups for tastings during the coronavirus era but this winery simply did away with tastings. It made our special trip to the winery a big disappointment. We came planning to buy...

    Miyazaki Saito-shi Miyake Kokubun 3187
    "This Buddhist temple is one of the Kokubunji Buddhist temples and nunneries built across the country on the order of Emperor Shomu in the Nara period. Just when the temple was erected is not clear, but as the land of Hyuga is recorded alongside Echigo and Tanba in the passages of the ancient ""Shoku Nihongi"" history text, it is believed the temple was founded sometime in a 16-year period between 741 and 756. In ancient times, the temple's grounds spanned some four hectares and it is said to have had a Kondo main temple, lecture hall, and pagoda, but these were lost in a fire in 1791. The temple's five statues depicting Ratnasambhava, Bhaisajyaguru, Mahavairocana, Amitabha, and Gautama Buddha were completed the following year as part of efforts to restore the temple."

  • Hayakawa Shrine

    Miyazaki Saito-shi Minamikata 183-2
    "This Shinto shrine stands some six kilometers north of downtown Saito City. The shrine's principle god is Seoritsuhime-no-Mikoto, but the shrine is also dedicated to four gods of purification. It is believed that seven waterfalls with names such as ""Man Falls,"" ""Woman Falls,"" and ""Snake Falls"" were located in the area in ancient times, and it is said that what is now called Ryujin (""Dragon God"") Falls located near the main shrine building was once ""Snake Falls."" In turn, it is believed that the shrine's unique method of prayer, which involves visitors making an offering of an egg, is derived from the ancient practice of worshiping the dragon gods of the seven waterfalls. The shrine sees many international visitors. Famously, praying to the shrine is said to grant such benefits as peace and prosperity in the household, success in academic endeavors, luck in passing any and all exams, and the exorcism of evil and unlucky influences."

    天皇誕生日の翌日ハナキンに訪問。道の駅というか一般的なお土産店。本来は周囲のミュージアムを訪問予定でしたが、祝日の翌日は休館の模様。神話の里にあるまじき神対応というか塩対応。はな、はな、はな、と萎えること必定。大喝！です。

    Miyazaki Koyu-gun Kijocho Takajo

    現在は、城山公園という名前の広場になっています。 高台の上にありますが、車で頂上までいけます。 小さな天守のような建物がありますが、他は何もありません。その割に駐車場が大きくて、第2駐車場まであります。 高台から町を見下ろすことができ、展望台と考えて良いかと思います。

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.
