Top things to do in Miyazaki Prefecture & Mt Aso | Japan Travel Guide | GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP

Miyazaki Prefecture in Japan (宮崎県, Miyazaki-ken) is also known as the Sunshine state that rivals Okinawa because not only of its proximity to the tropical regions of the Earth but because of its various beaches and mountainous landscapes.

Miyazaki and its neighbouring prefecture, Kumamoto on the southern island of Kyushu boasts scenic coastal and mountain drives that are awaiting the tourists that are wanting to experience the off the beaten path of Japan.

Miyazaki is an important prefecture in ancient Japan as it is believed to be the birthplace of Japan originating in the regions of Takachiho - and the views of this place and the surrounds are worth the side trip for!

Famous for its Mangos, Pine Trees (in fact, a Pokémon is known to come from this area) and the rivers, see what Miyazaki has in store for you.

Guided by our local contributor, Daisuke (@dai_films8), see why you should mark this on your next trip to Japan!
