    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."

  • Ningyo no Yakata
    Travel / Tourism
    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 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.
