    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 believed that your wishes will come true if you climb the “Oni Iwa Stairs” that continue after going through the torii gate without looking back. 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。

    Miyazaki Miyakonojo-shi Korimotocho 3420
    "This site is believed to be the location of the residence of Koremune Tadahisa, who was named the official in charge of the vast Shimazu Estate in the Kamakura period. When the site was turned into a park, archeological digs were conducted on portions of the grounds, revealing the remains of an ancient road and post holes. Tadahisa took the name of the estate when he received the position, changing his name to ""Shimazu Tadahisa,"" in turn becoming the founder of what would later become the noted Shimazu clan. In turn, Miyakonojo City is said to be the birthplace of the Shimazu clan and a stone monument stands here noting this fact."

    Miyazaki Miyakonojo-shi Yamanokuchicho Yamanokuchi 2921-1
    This museum was built in 1993 in order to preserve and display ningyo joruri (puppet theater) puppets, a form of traditional culture passed down through the ages in Yamanokuchi Fumoto. Ningyo joruri puppet theater involves the performance of stories by interweaving shamisen music, spoken dialogue, and puppets; the museum contains exhibits on ningyo joruri and also holds scheduled performances four times a year. The art form of a type of ningyo joruri called ko-joruri has been passed down in the Yamanokuchi-cho area unchanged for some 300 years. Preserving and passing on the ancient forms of the bunya ningyo dolls used in the plays, the museum is one of around just four such facilities found in the entire country. The museum's scheduled performances consist of bunyabushi-style ningyo joruri theater, whose traditions date back to the Edo period; and kyogen comic farce interludes which mix in bits of the local dialect for added humor and color.

    Miyazaki Miyakonojo-shi Miyako Shimacho 803
    This museum stands on the site of Miyakonojo, a medieval castle from which the surrounding city derives its name. The museum offers a sweeping view of the Miyakonojo Basin; inside, it displays artefacts discovered in archeological digs, historically valuable ancient documents, and works of art such as Japanese swords. The museum's castle-like building is a model structure made entirely of wood which was built with subsidies from the Forestry Agency. The museum has a huge, 13-meter-high atrium; and everywhere one looks one can see the building's distinctive wooden framework. The museum's standing exhibition presents the history of Miyakonojo from the distant Jomon period to today.

    土曜の夜２０時頃に訪問。 都城の市街地からは車で３０分ほど。 真っ暗な夜道の上りを車のライトを上向けにしてこれでもかと走ります。 星が見えれば天体望遠鏡で星空観測とのことですが、この夜は雨が降る寸前。 天気がダメなときはプラネタリウム。 天文台からは夜景がきれいでそれだけでも来た甲斐あった・・・ プラネタリウムは普通のイスがあって、みたいなところではありません。 実際に行ってもらいたいので詳しく...

    大きなお寺ですが、ごく普通のお寺で決して観光地ではありません。 ただ、種田山頭火が訪れ、 「投げ与へられた一銭のひかりだ」 「馬がふみにじる草は花ざかり」 の二句を残しており、前者の句碑が建てられています。

    国道沿いにあって「人形館」の看板はみるけど寄ったことはない、という人は多いはず。 気になっている方はぜひ平日に寄ってみてください。 知らないで見終わってしまうと「気味の悪い人形」になってしまうかもしれませんが、資料館の方の説明を運良く受けることができれば、この地区から日本につながる人形浄瑠璃の世界を知ることができます。 この世界に対する思いが行く前と後では全然違うことは間違ありません。

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.
