[2025 Iki Attraction] Travel Guide for Chintao Shrine (Updated Jul)

#DomesticTravelStrategy This day's plan is centered around the Aoshima area, where you can enjoy the nature and healing that is typical of Miyazaki. First, we went to the Phoenix Roadside Station, which you can stop by on the way to a scenic drive. There is an observation point here where you can see the coastline with its strangely shaped rocks called the "Devil's Washing Board," and it's the perfect place to relax while feeling the morning sea breeze. The local soft serve ice cream made with mango and hyuganatsu is also popular at the shop! Next, we visited the Aoshima Botanical Garden (Miyako Botanical Garden Aoshima). With colorful tropical plants spreading out, it feels like you're in a tropical resort, and it's out of the ordinary. Another nice thing about the garden is that it's free to enter and you can take a leisurely stroll. After that, we went to the nearby Aoshima Shrine. The vermilion shrine building built on the Devil's Washing Board stands out against the sea and greenery, creating a very mystical atmosphere. It is said to bring good luck in matchmaking and good fortune, and is crowded with tourists and locals. There are also plenty of souvenir shops on the approach to the shrine! Finally, we went to the Yellow Postbox, which is a symbol of Aoshima. Just looking at the vibrantly colored postbox against the blue sky and sea will cheer you up! It is said that if you send a letter from here, happiness will arrive, so we recommend writing one as a memento of your trip. It was a relaxing day trip to Miyazaki, with the sea, plants, shrines, and photo spots all in one place! 📍Phoenix Roadside Station 381-1 Uchiumi, Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture, 889-2301 🚌 About 35 minutes by car from Miyazaki Station / About 40 minutes by bus (to Aoshima/Nichinan) 📍Aoshima Botanical Garden 2-12-1 Aoshima, Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture, 889-2162 🕒 Opening hours: 8:30-17:00 / Free admission 📍Aoshima Shrine 2-13-1 Aoshima, Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture, 889-2162 🚶♂️ 10 minutes on foot from Aoshima Station / Free admission (charms and fortune slips are charged separately) 💰Estimated costs Transportation (rental car): 5,000-7,000 yen / Food, drink, and souvenirs: about 2,000 yen ➡ Total: A fulfilling little trip for about 8,000 to 9,000 yen! #MiyazakiTrip #AoshimaShrine #BotanicalGarden #PhoenixRoadStation #YellowPostbox #TropicalFeeling #PhotogenicSpot #BreathtakingViewofJapan

#Spring0yenTrip Aoshima Shrine is a beautiful shrine located in Aoshima, Miyazaki Prefecture, and its appearance, quietly standing in the nature of Aoshima, is impressive. Located on an island floating in the sea, surrounded by blue sea and greenery in a warm tropical climate, the shrine makes you feel as if you have come to another world. Aoshima itself is known as a power spot, and is a place that brings peace and healing to visitors. The shrine grounds are steeped in a long history, and are particularly famous for the strange rock formations known as "Oni no Sentakuita." These rocks are natural formations formed over a long period of time by erosion by waves, and exude a mysterious atmosphere. There are also "omikuji" (fortune slips) and "votive plaques" inside the shrine, where visitors can make prayers and make wishes. 📍Basic information (check the official website for the latest information) ✴︎Address: 2-13-1 Aoshima, Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture ✴︎Access: 10 minutes on foot from JR Aoshima Station ✴︎Admission: Free ✴︎Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 (may vary depending on the season)
