Experience of the stay
As soon as you leave the hotel, you are in the entertainment district! Plus, there are coupons for partner izakayas in the room's pamphlet, so you can get various benefits by going to those places. I used a coupon at an izakaya called "Kokochiya," right in front of the hotel, where I enjoyed a variety of delicious local dishes, including beef from Miyazaki and even got a free piece of sushi made with Miyazaki beef! How awesome!
Also, the hot springs here have a pH of 9.7, which makes the water quite smooth, and even after getting out of the bath, my skin remained silky for quite some time! Also, the great news is that you can bathe until 9 AM, so even after drinking at Nishitachi until late night, you can still soak in the hot water, which is awesome!
Regarding the room and facilities, having a power outlet near the bed is a major plus! This is surprisingly important nowadays! Also, the Wi-Fi was easy to access with a QR code, which is much easier than inputting passwords. There were also 3-in-1 charging cables available and a well-stocked welcome bar. It might seem like minor details, but hotels that take care of such little things are truly appreciated!
Experiences during the trip
Staying for a surf trip.
Day 1: It's about a 15-minute drive from Miyazaki Airport to Kizaki Beach, so even though I arrived in the afternoon, I had plenty of time to enjoy an evening round in the waves! While it was already semi-dry in Chibaraki (Chiba & Ibaraki), I could still enter the water with a shorty here! Some people were even swimming in spring suits despite it being the end of October, which made me appreciate the warmth of Miyazaki once again! The water temperature was so comfy and happy!
After that, I went sightseeing at Aoshima Shrine. I heard that after 5 PM it is lit up for an event, and it costs 1,000 yen to enter. In a way, I felt lucky to witness such a rare sighting. It seems to be ongoing until December 14, 2025.
After sightseeing, I checked into the hotel and quickly headed to Nishitachi! I savored Miyazaki's local chicken so much that I had to be careful not to get a nosebleed from how delicious it was! (I didn’t actually get one, haha!) By the way, the chickens bred and raised in Miyazaki with unique techniques are called "Miyazaki Jitokko," and they are a well-known brand chicken in the area. Discovering such knowledge is one of the joys of traveling!
Day 2: I traveled north from Miyazaki to the Hyuga area.
The first stop was the Kanegahama Point, which is about a 1.5-hour drive from Miyazaki. The conditions there were somewhat disorganized, so I went further north to the Kokuragawa Point. It took less than 10 minutes to arrive from Kanegahama. While there wasn't much parking space at Kanegahama, this spot had a large parking lot, complete with toilets and warm showers, making it a very welcoming point for visitors! The beach was broad, and the water was clear! I definitely want to return to this water entry point!
On my way back, I visited Miyazaki Jingu Shrine and Gokuraku Yu (a super sento) to regroup, then hit Nishitachi for a drink. Leaving the hotel and stepping into the entertainment district was something else! On this day, I enjoyed local dishes made with chicken and vegetables, and the spicy ramen I had for my final dish was fantastic!
