Udo Shrine

Reviewed By kenyunyk - Hong Kong, China

This shrine is located inside a big cave at waterfront connected with entrance with a long staircase which makes this shrine worth visiting.

Takachiho Gorge

Reviewed By garetjax72 - Singapore, Singapore

Nice walk along the gorge from Mihashi to Shinbashi Bridge with lovely autumn colours along the route. The waterfall beside Mihashi Bridge is pretty, but not very spectacular. Quite interesting to see how the river has carved a route through the basalt columns of the gorge. Note that there are quite a number of stairs along the route, with no slopes for wheelchairs or prams. Parking beside Mihashi Bridge is most convenient, but is very limited. Do come early.

Aoshima Island

Reviewed By BuccaneerDave - Nanaimo, Canada

Saw this is a guidebook and decided we must go. So happy we did. The whole community has a great laid back surfer vibe. The gardens in the town are beautiful. Countless people came up to us to have a quick chat. Wish we had stayed a night there. The washboard is fantastic. Such a unique and interesting formation that carries on down the coast for miles. This is the easiest spot to stop and have a look at. As others have done, we timed our visit for low tide to get the best effect. Daytrip from Miyazaki-shi. The temple on the island has a very lovely garden area tucked into the centre. Very interesting. Really enjoyed our day there.

Sekinoo Falls

Reviewed By beyourwings

The falls were majestic. We went on a Tuesday morning and it was pretty quiet, with only 2 other couples beside us. We spent quite some time on the bridge just enjoying the spectacular sides of nature (ps you can see 2 smaller waterfalls there too!) It was easy to get to, just a few mins walk to get to the actual falls and no need for a long hike or many steps. Definitely a must-go!

Amano Yasugawara

Reviewed By kirstine2013 - Albuquerque, United States

Located just 3 minute walk from the Amano-Iwato shrine, past cafes, descend the steps, over a stone bridge & listen to the sound of the gentle river flowing through a highly spiritual place. Even though the cave at the end is not the one that Amaterasu hid in (that can be viewed from lookout behind the shrine (viewing on hour & half hour) it is spectacular because of the plethora of stone pagodas. Without explanation, I believe these may symbolize pagodas built by lost/dead children (or their parents) at a Sai no Kawara, a riverbed which leads to hell. It is said an ogre keeps knocking down the pagodas but a Bodhisattva shields pagodas & the children to avoid hell.

Aoshima Shrine

Reviewed By trishsoto - Irvine, United States

Amazing and peaceful. Well worth a short regional train ride from Miyazaki to visit Aoshima, the village, the gardens and the walk to this island shrine. Nothing short of wonderful.
