Begin your tour at Miyazaki Station and hop on a Brompton bike to explore the city. First, visit Aoshima Shrine, dedicated to the deities Hikohohodemi-no-Mikoto and Toyotama-hime. Admire the unique rock formations known as the “Devil's Washboard,” a national natural monument.

Next, enjoy a traditional Japanese lunch made with local ingredients. Continue to Horikiri Pass, famous for its rows of Phoenix trees and stunning views of the blue sea and sky. Stop at the Phoenix Roadside Station to enjoy local delicacies while taking in the breathtaking scenery.

Then, head to Sunmesse Nichinan, home to the only full-scale replicas of the Easter Island Moai statues outside of Chile. Learn about the fascinating history of these statues and their connection to Japan.

Visit Udo Shrine, perched on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Walk down the 715 stone steps to reach the shrine, and try your luck by throwing “undama” (lucky stones) at the turtle-shaped rock in the sea.

Finally, explore the historic Obi Castle Town, once the seat of the Ito clan. Stroll through the streets lined with traditional samurai residences and merchant houses, and visit the Obi Castle History Museum to learn about the town's rich history.
