Unlock Miyazaki! 20250919-22 Four-day and three-night free travel in Miyazaki, Southern Kyushu

Unlock Miyazaki! A four-day, three-night trip to Miyazaki, southern Kyushu, from September 19th to 22nd, 2025. Although I'd downloaded some apps for research, I often forgot to use them. I ended up taking the wrong bus, missing my schedule, and waiting in vain. 😮💨 It was quite a novel experience. 😝 We took taxis, JR trains, and buses; we drove ourselves; we ate katsudon, chicken nanban, charcoal-grilled free-range chicken, udon, ramen, Miyazaki beef, and pudding...everything. The ART Sky Tower Hotel I stayed at was the first hotel I'd ever stayed in while abroad where I'd had such a good night's sleep! In addition to the headrest, the pillow was a memory foam! The mattress was also just the right firmness! Even though I'm a light sleeper and prone to nocturnal urination, I was able to sleep soundly through the night. This time, I bought a JR + bus package that directly unlocked transportation from Miyazaki to Takachiho. I spent almost a month scouring online websites before I found this amazing combination. I originally wanted to rent a car and drive up there myself, but the round trip is only 2.5 hours each way. It's best to conserve your energy when traveling abroad. 🤣

Takachiho Gorge

Takachiho is an absolute nature playground in Miyazaki — think dramatic gorges, crystal-clear boat rides, and mountain vibes that seriously deliver 🍃🤩. Whether you're chasing waterfalls or legends, this place has both. Must-See Takachiho Spots: Takachiho Gorge 🛶 (Mukoyama, Takachiho, Nishiusuki District, Miyazaki 882-1103; Open 08:30-17:00) — Get ready for some jaw-dropping canyon scenery! Rent a rowboat and float under volcanic cliffs, with waterfalls raining down nearby. Go early for fewer crowds and dreamy morning mist. Hiking trails along the gorge are an easy win, especially in fall when leaves are popping with color. Amaterasu Railway 🚂 — Hop on this unique local train for cute bubble shows and epic mountain views. If cloudy or rainy, don’t stress—the mist makes the scenery feel mystical! Have your camera ready for all the quick photo stops. Amanoiwato Shrine 🌄 (1073-1 Iwato, Takachiho; Open 24/7) — Legendary Japanese mythology comes to life here. Take the forest stroll down to the sacred cave and riverside; super peaceful, even when it’s busy. Eats & Practical Tips: Lunch at Amaterasu Restaurant (1082-12 Iwato, Takachiho) — Try the local chicken, and don’t skip sweet potato snacks for hiking fuel. Transport Hack: Local buses link the main sites, but taxis make the most of your time if you're short on hours. Rental scooters = next-level flexibility, especially for those cheeky views. Pack rain gear just in case — Takachiho weather loves to surprise! Cash is better for small eateries & admission spots. #TakachihoTrip #JapanNature #TravelHacks #GorgeViews #JapanFood
