Miyazaki Hidden Gems
Tierra de mitos en el sur de Kyushu. El desfiladero de Takachiho, con sus columnas de basalto, es donde según la leyenda descendió la divinidad solar. En el cabo Toi pastan caballos salvajes, las montañas de Kirishima humean entre nubes y el pollo jidori a la brasa es la especialidad local.
