Miyazaki & Nichinan travel guide

Phoenix Seagia Resort is Located in the center of a vast resort area and

the Hotel building  is 154 meters above ground and all rooms have an

east-facing ocean view.

There are two Golf courses, Phoenix Country Club and Tom Watson

Golf Course.

Beautiful and exciting Shine,  located the cave of the cliff side facing

the Pacific Ocean. In legend, a goddess of sea built a hut to give birth

to a great god here. Then it is said that Empress Suiko (554-628) built

the shrine there.

The suggested sightseeing spot in Nichinan. The 60m altitude pass allows

you to look down at a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. The coastline

here is lined with rocks that have been worn away by the waves splashing 

against them, as well as beautiful phoenix palm trees.

Wild horses are living here. Gentle hills extend, and you can observe wild

horses, called Misaki-uma, living and grazing there. It is said that the

Misaki-uma are the descendants of army horses left grazing and which

became wild 300 years ago.

The moss-covered stone walls, broad stone steps in front of the Ote-mon

main gate, moat ruin, and old samurai residences all bring back the past. 

The Matsuo-no-Maru residence and Ote-mon have been reconstructed

using the treasured Obi cedar wood.

Japan’s own replica of Moai Statues.  Enjoy a breath taking panoramic

view of the Pacific Ocean, the Sun Messe Nichinan has replicas of the

Moai statues from the Easter Island placed here and there in the area.

Miyazaki Shrine is the oldest and most important shrine in the city. 

Dedicated to Emperor Jinmu, the mythical first emperor of Japan, it is said

to have been established over 2600 years ago.
