Miyazaki (宮崎; [1]) is the prefectural capital of Miyazaki prefecture on the island of Kyushu, Japan.

[edit] Understand

Miyazaki is a tourism and resort area in southern Kyushu. It is not to be confused with the legendary Japanese animator and filmmaker, Hayao Miyazaki.

[edit] Get in

[edit] By plane

Miyazaki has its own airport. JAL, ANA and Skynet have regular flights from Tokyo Haneda Airport, Osaka Itami Airport and various other locations throughout Japan. Buses connect the airport to the main Miyazaki station in 25 minutes (¥400), while the JR Miyazaki Airport Line runs 1-2 trains per hour to Minami-Miyazaki station (¥340).

[edit] By train

Miyazaki is 4 1/2 hours away from Kokura station in Kitakyushu, a stop on the San'yo Shinkansen, by taking the Sonic limited express to Beppu and transfering to the Nichirin limited express (¥8280).

The Kirishima limited express also makes multiple daily runs from Kagoshima (2 hours, ¥4090).

The Suisei, an overnight train which ran between Kyoto, Osaka and Miyazaki, was discontinued in October 2005. Now the only overnight service that runs to Miyazaki is the Dream Nichirin limited express service, which runs from Hakata station in Fukuoka and from Kokura station in Kitakyushu. You're better off travelling to Miyazaki during the day, or spend a night in Kitakyushu or Fukuoka before continuing south.

[edit] By bus

Hourly buses run from Fukuoka to Miyazaki in about 4 1/2 hours at a cost of ¥6000.
