📍Miyazaki Prefecture Miyazaki Bougainvillea Airport The gateway to Miyazaki Prefecture's skies Not only can you fly here, you can also enjoy food, souvenirs, and sightseeing. There are also some experiences that can only be found here in Japan, so we will introduce them here. ... We especially recommend the rooftop Airplane Park 🛩️ Training aircraft from the Aviation College are on display, and children can enjoy a cockpit ride, or take commemorative photos wearing pilot or flight attendant uniforms. Sitting in a cockpit and touching a piloted aircraft is a rare experience, so it's exciting ✨ Miyazaki Airport is the only observation deck in Japan that displays actual airplanes. Make sure to set aside enough time to "play at the airport" when planning your trip 🔖 #Miyazaki #MiyazakiTourism #MiyazakiBougainvilleaAirport #DomesticTravel #FreeHotelStay

The "Giant Exeggutor" at Miyazaki Airport is a gigantic monument of about 3.4 meters in height, based on the Pokémon "Exeggutor (Alolan form)". It was installed as part of the "Exeggutor Resort in Miyazaki" project, which is a part of tourism promotion carried out by Miyazaki Prefecture and Pokémon. Exeggutor has been appointed "Miyazaki's Favorite Pokémon" because it is perfectly suited to Miyazaki's warm climate and tropical atmosphere, and it cheerfully greets people who visit the airport. It is also popular as a photogenic spot, attracting the attention of tourists.

🌴 Miyazaki City Guide | A tropical town filled with the sea, gourmet food, and hospitality 📍 Miyazaki Airport (Miyazaki Bougainvillea Airport) You'll feel like you're in a tropical mood from the moment you step out of the airport! Miyazaki Airport, surrounded by palm trees, is also attractive for its easy access. It's about a 10-minute train ride to the city center, making it a great starting point for beginner travelers. There are also many local souvenir and chicken nanban shops within the facility. 📍 Miyazaki Station & AMU PLAZA MIYAZAKI Amu Plaza, which opened in 2020, is a large complex directly connected to the station. It has shopping, restaurants, and even a Ferris wheel, making it a great place to take a break between sightseeing. There are also buses and routes with a tropical design in front of the station. 📍 Maruman Yakitori Main Store (Local Gourmet) A famous restaurant where you can enjoy charcoal-grilled local chicken, a representative Miyazaki gourmet dish. The smoky, fragrant local chicken tastes better the more you chew it, and the quality is hard to find in other prefectures. This popular restaurant requires reservations and is crowded with locals and tourists alike. 📍Hakusui-sha (Local Sweets) The ice cream and pudding made by local dairy farmers are very popular. The cafe spot has a traditional, simple sweetness and a warm atmosphere that is typical of Miyazaki. It is a famous local restaurant that is just right for a break during your walk. 📍Miyachiku Main Store (High-end Gourmet) A steak specialty store where you can enjoy the best of Miyazaki beef.

The ocean view rooms and the vast hot spring facility "Shosenkyu" are truly extraordinary. Although it is a little far from the city center, it is easily accessible by bus or taxi. You can enjoy the resort atmosphere. ⸻ ⚠️ Tips for sightseeing ・Miyazaki is convenient for travelling by car, but there are also plenty of trains and buses that connect the airport, city and tourist spots. We recommend checking the timetable in advance. ・It is better to make a reservation at popular gourmet restaurants (Maruman and Miyachiku). If you just show up on the day, you may not be able to get in due to crowds. ・Miyazaki Airport is also famous as one of the best airports in the country for "beautiful send-offs." The departure gate is also a photo spot! ⸻ #Miyazaki City Strategy #Miyazaki Trip #Tropical Resort #Miyazaki Gourmet #Maruman Yakitori #Hakusui-sha #Miyachiku Main Branch #Sheraton Miyazaki #Amu Plaza Miyazaki #Miyazaki Airport #Kyushu Trip #Local Chicken Gourmet #Miyazaki Beef Steak #Station Front Sightseeing #Miyazaki Sweets #Domestic Travel Strategy

This was my first time using an international flight from Miyazaki Airport. 📍Location: Miyazaki Airport 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: Body scanner available!, no automatic check-in, analog immigration application, Japanese souvenirs available at duty-free shops, plenty of seats 💞Reasons why we recommend it: ①There are few flights, so immigration is quick! ②The airport is close to Miyazaki city! ③Miyazaki Prefecture is offering subsidies for those entering and leaving Miyazaki Airport for a limited time, and even those from outside the prefecture can receive a subsidy of 1,000 yen per one-way trip! (Check the website) #Overseas transportation

First of all, the public transportation in Miyazaki is not very developed. If you have a Suica card or a mobile Suica card, you cannot use the card to pass through some stations. Some unmanned stations, such as Qingdao Station, do not even have ticket machines. It is best to use JR PASS or buy paper tickets at other stations. Secondly, Miyazaki is very suitable for cycling. You can check the bicycle rental service, but pay attention to sun protection safety. I successfully tanned myself into a roasted pig color... Qingdao is a great place to stroll around. There are the Qingdao Shrine, the Devil's Washboard by the sea, and the yellow mailbox, all of which are great places to take photos. We went there to watch our idols' live performances and to sightsee in the local area. The places we went to were all related to our idols, so the pictures are for reference only. www

Uryuno's Bon chicken nanban and hamburger ④ First time! Nobeoka's Kokugikan chicken nanban and fried shrimp Each had a different sweet and sour flavor, and they were all delicious If I had to rank them, I'd say ①, ②, ④, and ③ But for ②, ③, and ④, the second dish, the croquettes, hamburger, and fried shrimp, were also delicious, which surprised me♪ The food in Miyazaki is generally of a high standard, and everything you eat is delicious♪ #ChickenNanban

Flying back to Miyazaki from New York ✈️ Boarding month: July 2023 Airline: ANA Flight/Route: NH603 HND→KMI Aircraft: A321neo / JA139A Seat: Premium Class For ANA international award tickets, if you have a connecting flight within 24 hours, you can add up to two segments per trip for domestic flights in Japan🖐️ This time, the day I could get an international segment was the middle of a three-day holiday, so I planned to stop somewhere instead of flying directly to Nagoya😁 I could have gone to New Chitose Airport, Fukuoka, or even my favorite Okinawa, but I thought I might as well go to an airport I've never used before and stay in a prefecture🤔 so I chose Miyazaki🌴 When I returned from New York, I used the free airport delivery service provided by the Rakuten Premium Card and checked my suitcase, so I was able to fly to Miyazaki in a light style◎ I also used the upgrade points I wanted to use up and upgraded to Premium Class⤴️ And it was even more exciting because it was an A321neo with a monitor! Although I had an aisle seat, I was able to relax comfortably✈️ However, the international flight was delayed by about an hour and a half, and I had to move between terminals, and then use satellite gate 46, so I was constantly moving around the airport, so I wasn't busy until boarding💦 The most enjoyable thing on the plane was the food🍽️ The breakfast menu was light, - Danish with prosciutto and potatoes - Ham cutlet and coleslaw sandwich - Beef consommé soup with onion and pumpkin But I was quite satisfied because I had eaten a lot on the international flight😋 After the meal, I took a break with an iced coffee and nuts. I'm glad I was able to enjoy the flight, which was about an hour long, and the morning flight back home✨ Even though I was on the aisle side, I tried my best to take a picture of Mt. Fuji💪 I think this came out pretty good😆 #flightreport #777 #airtravel #ANA #AllNipponAirways #premiumclass #premiumclass #travelreport #domestictravel #kyushutrip #miyazakitrip #hanedaairport #miyazakiairport #A321neo

Miyazaki Airport Station in Miyazaki Prefecture It's convenient because the station is next to the airport. I usually take the train in Osaka a lot, so I was surprised by many things. ⁡ This time, I'm going to Nobeoka Station on this train. The fare is 1,810 yen. I'm not sure if it's cheap or expensive. I looked for a cheap discount ticket, but there wasn't one. The train runs once or twice an hour. The train is a two-car train. I was surprised to see that there were trash cans on the train. ⁡ It made me realize that life in the countryside is hard, and that even elderly people need cars. ⁡ When planning a trip, it's important to have about two hours of leeway. ⁡ Many people seemed to be using rental cars. ⁡ #MiyazakiAirport#MiyazakiAirportStation #MiyazakiTrip #MiyazakiTourism #oookumachanooo
