This garden located by the sea is famous for its beautiful sunflower fields. Every summer, when the sunflowers are in full bloom, the entire garden seems to be covered by a golden ocean, presenting a gorgeous picture. Walking in this sea of ​​flowers, with the sun shining and the fragrant scent of flowers filling your nose, one can feel the tranquility and beauty of nature. In addition to sunflowers, the most distinctive feature of the Nichinan Sun Garden is a group of Moai statues from Easter Island. These majestic stone statues are scattered throughout the garden, exuding a strong sense of exoticism and mystery. The Moai statues are the representative cultural symbol of Easter Island. Seeing these unique statues here seems to bring us into an ancient world. The combination of Moai statues and sunflowers creates a strong visual contrast, making this garden more attractive💕 Nichinan Sun Gardens can be reached by bus or car from Miyazaki City, and the journey takes about 1 hour; the scenery along the way, the beaches surrounding the gardens, and the beautiful natural landscapes also add a lot of color to your journey.

Miyazaki Kaigan is located in the eastern part of Minami Kyushu. Since the local transportation relies on buses, and the bus frequency is relatively sparse, maybe only one bus takes more than an hour, so self-driving travel is the best choice. Suggested itinerary: Depart from Miyazaki City＞Aoshima Shrine＞Oni no Washing Board＞Udo Shrine＞Nichinan Sun Garden＞Return to Miyazaki City Aoshima Shrine: Dedicated to the patron saint of marriage and family happiness, it is regarded as the "shrine of marriage." Ghost Washing Board: A black rocky shore formed naturally due to long-term erosion and weathering of the rocks by waves. Udo Shrine: The shrine is built on a cliff, adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. The red torii gate contrasts with the coast, and the photo effect is very good. Nichinan Sun Garden: The Easter Island Moai statue is the symbol here. In addition, there are many fun and scenic spots here. It is recommended that you must visit when traveling to Miyazaki. #自车游 #100 Ways to Travel

In 1992, when a Japanese company cooperated in the restoration of the Moai statues on Easter Island, permission was granted to remake the Moai statues, and the current location of Sun Messe Nichinan in Miyazaki Prefecture was chosen as the construction site. Sun Messe Nichinan opened at the same time as the Moai statues were completed. #trip2023 #breathtakingview #moaistatue

#Spring0yentrip When I visited Sun Messe Nichinan, I was captivated by the blue sky, the Pacific Ocean, and the Moai statues lined up in front of it. I never thought I would be able to see real Easter Island-certified Moai statues in Japan, and I felt a strange mixture of excitement and surprise. The park is spacious and open. When I walked to the top of the hill, I could see the Moai statues and the panoramic view of the Nichinan coast, which was a very pleasant view. On a sunny day, the blue of the sea stands out, and the scenery is like a postcard. The art and monuments scattered throughout the nature are also unique, and one of the attractions is that you can make various discoveries while walking around. I was able to spend a relaxing time while being soothed by the sight of the tortoises walking leisurely. Sun Messe Nichinan is not only photogenic, but also a space that soothes the soul. If you have a chance to go to Nichinan, it is a recommended spot to stop by. #Sun Messe Nichinan #Moai statues #Nichinan's spectacular views #Relaxing trip #Miyazaki drive

#DomesticTravelStrategy #SunMesseNichinan 📍Address: 2650 Miyanoura, Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture, 887-0101 9:30AM - 5:00PM Closed every Wednesday This place, where the contrast between the green of the grass, the light blue of the sky, and the deep blue of the sea is extremely beautiful, is a restored version of the Moai that was recognized and created by Easter Island. I'm happy that it can be seen in Japan! The Moai are very impressive when you see them in person. There are also many other photogenic spots, such as swings that look like they will fly into the blue sky and colorful human objects. The site is large and the slopes are quite steep, so it is recommended to rent a cart for 1,000 yen and get around. You can walk if you don't have a cart. It was a hassle to have to park the cart every time you arrived at a spot, so if you are confident in your feet, try walking! #DomesticTravel #Miyazaki #MiyazakiTrip #Tourism #AccommodationReview

1. When you come to Miyazaki, you must see the sea. The Japanese Hawaii is really amazing. Route: Miyazaki Station West Exit - Aoshima - Sun Messe Nichinan - Udo Shrine - Miyazaki Station West Exit. Basically, it is a coastal route, and you can see the sea all the way. You must buy a VISIT MIYAZAKI BUS PASS before the trip, which costs JPY 2,000 and covers all transportation costs for the trip. You can buy it at the Miyazaki City Tourist Information Center (inside Miyazaki JR Station). 2. After asking us where we were going, the staff enthusiastically helped us design the route! Since there are fewer buses in Miyazaki, this is basically the best route. 3. We traveled on the weekend, so we looked at the weekend bus schedule (which is different from the weekday schedule!) Arrive at Miyazaki Station West Exit before 9:22 am. 9:22-10:08 am: Arrive at Aoshima. 10:08 am-12:38 pm: Play on Aoshima. Aoshima is a small island connected to the mainland by a bridge. There is a "Aoshima Shrine" on the island for praying for marriage, and there is also a paddle surfing school nearby. If you have enough time, you can try it. There are many delicacies near Aoshima, and we had Miyazaki beef for lunch. 12:38-13:07 pm: 13:07-15:17 pm: Play at Sun Messe Nichinan. Highly recommend Sun Messe Nichinan! If you can only choose one attraction in Miyazaki, it must be this one. Green and white, and the Easter Island Moai statues (claimed to be the only officially authorized replicas). It is both photogenic and comfortable, and I can stay there all day. 4. 15:17-15:22 pm: 15:22-16:42 pm: Play at Udo Shrine. Udo Shrine is a shrine by the sea. The main hall of the shrine is in a cave, and outside is the sea. This is amazing! It is so beautiful that I am reluctant to come back.

On the last day of 2024, I came to Miyazaki in southern Kyushu. My first stop was Nichinan Sun Garden to see the Moai statues. After all, Chile is difficult for Taiwanese to reach. After going in to visit, I found out that this is the (only?) overseas Moai statue authorized by Chile. The ticket is 1000 yen per person. There seems to be nothing else to see except the Moai statues. When I went there, the restaurant was sold out, so I went to a small shop to eat takoyaki and fried chicken. The taste is... hard to describe...

According to the recommendation of the staff at the bus station information desk, take bus 965 from the bus terminal and go to Nichinan Coast Park first. Get on the bus at 9:40 and try to choose a seat on the left so that you can see the sea and appreciate the beauty of the coastal highway. Get off the bus at 11:00. At Nichinan Coast Park, you can see the Easter Island Stone Men, the Insect Museum and other attractions. The coastline is very beautiful. #Good place for parents and children #Travel in Japan #Travel in Kyushu #Miyazaki 🏖️ Environment/Facilities: You need to climb a short flight of stairs on the hillside; if you don’t like walking, you can rent an electric car for 1,000 yen per hour 📍Address: 2650 Miyaura, Nichinan, Miyazaki 887-0101 Japan 💞Recommended reason: Beautiful scenery

#November Good Places 2024 This time I went to Minami Kyushu, Japan, and went to Nichinan, the southernmost tip, just to take pictures of Nichinan Sun Garden! This place was built to pray for world peace, which is very interesting. Inside there are many Resurrection Island stone statues, very huge, and feel magnificent, if he wants to be more out of the video when the weather is nice! And there are also many entertainment facilities, such as Chiaki, farms and so on
