Things to do in Miyazaki, Japan

I am especially excited about this weeks video because we are going to Miyazaki, Japan! We’ve actually been to Miyazaki before but never made it all the way out to the coast. I had plans to go earlier in the summer but the week we had planned to go we saw torrential downpours and decided to reschedule. This trip has been on my list of places to go because of the beautiful dog friendly Airbnb that we found. A friend actually stayed in the Airbnb last spring and also recommended it so I knew I wanted to go.
I wasn’t sure about the city the Airbnb was in (Hyuga, Miyazaki) but we ended up loving the small surf town vibes that it gave off. It wasn’t touristy at all and honestly felt like a local hang out. We let Olive swim on the beach in a huge tide pool and then when all the surfers left for the workweek we let her let loose on the beach and run to her hearts content. It wasn’t crowded at all, but I would say that is more likely due to the time of year. I’m sure during the height of summer Hyuga is a VERY popular place to be.
Hyuga was about a 4.5hr drive from Sasebo and we took the route through Oita on the way there. We stopped at a coffee shop AND a brewery and I definitely recommend both of them! There is something really great about finding these random places out in the middle of nowhere! It made the drive much more enjoyable to have fun stops along the way.

Once we got to the Airbnb we relaxed for the night. If you’re looking for a dog-friendly Airbnb near the beach in Miyazaki DEFINITELY check out the Hyuga Surf Camp.

Thank you for sharing Miyazaki. Surprisingly there isn't much on this prefecture so thank you for your ideas!

[@MaggieontheMove]

Omg there’s so much! But if you’re not an outdoorsy person then yes significantly less. Miyazaki is also quite large!

Miyazaki is my favourite spot in Kyushu :)

[@MaggieontheMove]

I love it too!!

How did you get your dog to Japan? Where did you go to Japan from?

[@MaggieontheMove]

I have a video on it! Definitely check it out, we moved to Japan (originally Yokota) from Norfolk, VA. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYXbhIewntKrbtU
