Clear blue skies, sunlight pouring down, azure ocean waves, a phoenix palm swaying in the breeze: these make up the scenery of Miyazaki. We call it Nangoku Miyazaki, nangoku meaning the tropical south. And in nangoku, as we say in Japanese, nandemo gokujou! Meaning: everything of the finest quality.

That means the finest quality food, from our brand of Miyazaki Wagyu Beef - the most delicious wagyu in Japan - to our local favorites in chicken nanban and chargrilled jidori chicken, not to mention luxury products like our incredibly sweet and fragrant mangoes, and locally matured Miyazaki caviar. Make sure to try all these delicacies at least once!

It also means the most majestic scenes of natural beauty. From Takachiho Gorge, whose towering rock formations were formed due to volcanic activity from Mount Aso and the erosion of the Gokase River, to Aoshima with its unique "Devil's Washboard" coastline; from the range of beautiful flowers throughout the seasons to the bright blue ocean stretching as far as the eye can see. Wherever you go, there's scenery to leave you speechless.

Lastly, it means the most mystical places, with shrines and spiritual sites associated with mythology. There's Udo Shrine, with its vermillion main hall nestled in a cave in the cliffs overlooking the Hyuga Nada sea; there's Omi Shrine, known as "Hyuga's Ise"; and there's Ama no Yasukawara, the site of the legendary divine council to save the world from darkness.

Superb cuisine, awe-inspiring scenes, rich spiritual energy: Miyazaki is full of hidden gems. Come to Miyazaki to find the best of everything.

At the Miyazaki Prefecture booth, we present Miyazaki's five areas of appeal: food, mythology, nature, forests and sports. This includes a tasting corner where you can try our honkaku shochu, the most popular in Japan for eleven consecutive years, and our local Gokase wine, along with various Miyazaki snacks. In addition, we have prepared audiovisual content that allows you to experience the activities of Miyazaki's top sightseeing spots. Come along to the Miyazaki booth to see what "nangoku" delights await you in Miyazaki!
