Experience Japan's mythological origins, breathtaking natural beauty, and local food culture, all within an agreeably efficient timeframe.
A coach ride brings you to the venerable Oomijinja Shrine, believed to be a branch shrine of the Ise Grand Shrine and dedicated to Amaterasu Omikami — the most sacred deity among the myriad of gods. Perched on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean, it's enveloped in a mystical aura.
Don't miss the Sazareishi Stones, said to grant wishes. What will yours be? This power spot offers a profound sense of purification, touching both mind and body with its grand scenery and historical depth. Allow yourself to feel the Earth's grandeur firsthand.
Hyuga City's renowned scenic spots are Cape Hyuga and Umagase. Here, columnar cliffs tower approximately 230 feet (70 meters) — a true masterpiece of nature. Enjoy a pleasant ten-minute walk to the observation deck. From here, the panoramic view of the deep blue ocean stretches out before you — breathtakingly beautiful.
Pause at Michi-no-Eki Tomitaka Bussankan — a long way of saying a roadside produce hall brimming with local charm. Shop among the locals amid a colorful selection of fresh agricultural and marine products, processed goods, and souvenirs from Hyuga City.
