Introducing Miyazaki
Due to the warm offshore currents, the city of Miyazaki has a balmy climate and some of the best surfing in Japan, particularly at Kizaki-hama and other beaches further north towards Hyūga. The warm weather also brings five professional baseball teams here for spring training. Many areas around Miyazaki played an important part in early Japanese civilisation, and are recorded in Japan’s oldest chronicle, the Kojiki. Interesting excavations can be seen at Saitobaru.
