    This shrine, located in Miyakonojo City, Miyazaki Prefecture, is famous as one of “Kirishima Rokusha Gongen” and enshrines the deity of “Izanagi-no-mikoto”.

It is also said that the large approximately 1,000-year old camphor tree is a spiritually healing spot and is visited by many worshippers.

    正月は、にぎわいます。普段は、あまり人気がなく、特に夜は暗くて怖いです。でも、正月の昼間でしたら、臨時の巫女さんもいるし、人も多くて活気があります。 コロナが流行する前でしたので、早くコロナが収束して安心して来年の正月は初詣できると良いと思います。

    A bread bakery located in Kirishima Factory Garden. The shop's popular soft, flavorful breads are made with shochu moromi fermenting mash, a byproduct of making shochu. The shop's many windows pour light into the shop, and in the adjoining cafe space, customers can enjoy the shop's breads and fresh baked pizzas. Note that this popular establishment closes up shop when its stock for the day runs out.

    焼酎を買い求めた後にベーカリーに立ち寄ったら、同じツアーの方がパンを買われていて品数が少なかったのがちょっと残念です。お酒はいくらでもあるので、パンを先に買った方が良いと思います。パンはベーカリー内の窯で焼かれているのでタイミングが合えば焼きたてが買えると思います。値段はお手頃なのも嬉しく、殖雄案やレーズンパンなどを買いましたが、ピザとかも美味しそうでした。

    "This soba noodle restaurant stands on the Kirishima Bird Line. In a space overflowing with warm wood furnishings, the restaurant serves choice, handmade soba noodles. The restaurant makes its noodles by naturally drying buckwheat, grinding it into flour each morning using a stone mill, and mixing it with spring water before rolling out the noodles by hand. The restaurant offers two varieties of noodles, ""nama soba"" (made with a 90% buckwheat flour and 10% wheat flour blend); and unique, southern Kyushu-style ""inaka soba"" (made using only buckwheat flour). Customers can enjoy these noodles along with a tasty soup flavored with dried bonito, dried kelp seaweed, dried young sardine, and dried shitake mushrooms. The restaurant also sells a variety of homemade foods such as buckwheat flour and soba noodles for home use, and breads made with natural yeast."

    The homemade soba is delicious, and the atmosphere of the entire place is just lovely. They also sell their signature sauces, homemade bread, and other local produce.

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.
