Miyazaki Hidden Gems

Terre de mythes dans le sud de Kyushu. Les gorges de Takachiho, avec leurs colonnes de basalte, sont le lieu où, selon la légende, descendit la divinité solaire. Au cap Toi paissent des chevaux sauvages, les montagnes de Kirishima fument entre les nuages et le poulet jidori grillé est la spécialité locale.

10 spots

Un littoral pacifique ensoleillé de plages de surf et de palmiers, adossé à des gorges mythiques et des sanctuaires liés aux légendes fondatrices du Japon.

Climat et meilleure saison

Chaud, ensoleillé et exposé aux typhons, avec le plus grand nombre d'heures d'ensoleillement du Japon et des hivers très doux. Bon toute l'année.
