Udo Shrine
Udo Shrine is the most famous shrine in southern Miyazaki Prefecture, and is said to have blessings on matchmaking, marital harmony, safe childbirth, fishing, and navigation.
When you visit, one thing you should definitely try is the famous "Undama toss". It is said that if a man throws a wish with his left hand and a woman with his right hand, and if it falls into the hollow of the rock, his wish will come true.
Takachiho Gorge
Takachiho Gorge is a 7km long gorge with cliffs reaching 80-100m in height, formed by columnar joints created by the erosion of pyroclastic flows that erupted during the volcanic activity of Mt. Aso.
Its appearance is spectacular, and it has been designated as a national scenic spot and natural monument. Takachiho Gorge is home to the famous Manai Falls, one of Japan's top 100 waterfalls.
Cruz's sea where wishes come true
The Sea of Kurusu is so called because the columnar rocks are split 200 meters from east to west and 220 meters from north to south due to wave erosion, giving the area a cross-shaped appearance.
It is said that if you pray here, your wishes will come true. At the observatory, there is a ``Wish-Fulfilling Bell'' that symbolizes the purpose of purifying the hearts of visitors and entrusting their wishes and hopes to heaven.
devil's washboard
The coast of Aoshima, a popular tourist spot in Miyazaki City, is lined with wavy rocks. It is called the ``Oni's Washboard'' because its appearance resembles a large washboard used by demons.
The best time to visit this demon washboard is at low tide. You can see a larger washboard, as if a demon really does laundry.
