What do you think is the most important thing when traveling?

For me it’s the weather.

My husband and I went to Miyazaki prefecture last month.

The place we wanted to go to most was Takachiho Gorge, which is close to the prefectural border between Kumamoto and Oita.

Second was Toi Cape which is the southernmost tip of Miyazaki prefecture, so we couldn’t do it in one day.

Takachiho Gorge was a truly beautiful gorge just as I had seen in the photos. Toi Cape was supposed to be a beautiful cape with a lighthouse that people can go up into. There are only 16 lighthouses that people can enter in Japan. There are also wild horses called Misakiuma.

However it was raining and windy that day, so we couldn’t really enjoy the beautiful scenery, and we just gave up on even going to Japan’s largest suspension bridge...

How beautiful it would have been if the weather was nice...

Last year we also visited Kumamoto, Fukuoka, and Kagoshima. Compared to those areas, Miyazaki prefecture is rural.

I don’t mean that in a bad way though.

Actually I am surprised that Kumamoto, Fukuoka, and Kagoshima are more urban than my hometown Chiba.

It takes only about 15 minutes by train from Miyazaki airport to Miyazaki station which is in the center of Miyazaki city.

We took the train from the airport to the hotel, but there were only 2 cars, and to our surprise, at the next station from the airport only the doors of the first car open. We found out that it was because the platform was short.

There were many visitors bound for Takachiho Gorge aboard but there were very few foreign and domestic tourists carrying luggage in Miyazaki city.

Anyway the meat and fish were very delicious and it’s a place we want to visit again. —————————————————————— 🗣Do you study English? Join our club! And why not read your monologue. If you are interested, please feel free to contact us.
