| Miyazaki has a tropical atmosphere with bright warm
sunshine and Phoenix and Washington palm trees lining its
roads. Along the banks of the peaceful Oyodo River is
Tachibana Park with phoenix trees, "l´ombre" sunshades, and
flower beds. There is a row of modern hotels and
Japanese-style inns along the park. In the northern part of
the city, there are Miyazaki Shrine with its main shrine
solemnly standing in a dense forest, Peace Tower, and Haniwa
Garden. There are also Heiwadai Park, where you can see the
Sea of Hyuga; Seagaia, a hotel with one of the world´s largest
indoor water parks; and the Sumiyoshi Coast, with a golf
course. Along the Nichinan Coast in the south, there are many
sightseeing spots. Aoshima Resort Kodomo-no-kuni (Children´s
Land) Park overlooks the sea and has flowers, trees, and a
playground. On Aoshima Island you can see thick subtropical
trees and rocks with wave marks called Ogre´s Wash Board.
There are also Horikiri Pass, one of the best scenic points
along the Nichinan Coast; Cactus and Herb Garden, located on a
slope where you can look over the sea; and Uto Shrine, with
its red main shrine located in a sea cave. Miyazaki is such a
great place to visit, with its tropical flowers, bright
sunshine, and blue sea. |
