The falls consisted of 3 parts - the large fall (Ootaki) of 18 meters high which could closely be viewed by walking over the suspension bridge. Then there were a Male Fall (Odaki), and a Female Fall (Medaki). The potholes (Ouketsu) at upstream were formed by pebbles and rocks gushing from the foot of Kirishima Mountains.
We visited the place on a weekday and all food outlets were closed.

I know this place as Takachiho Farm and was taken here by my Japanese friend. I loved the fresh air and the views to the Mountains were great. The area is famous for the filming of a James Bond movie. The dairy shop was full of cheeses and products which I wanted to buy but constant travel didn't permit it. There's a great foot bath as well. It was easy to park and I don't recall any fees to enjoy the experience. Highly recommended.

This shrine is packed with cute and fun thigns to see. Most of the things are signs of the gods' presence. There are some really tall and original old stone steps up to the main part of the shrine. There are also places to get blessed water for your wallet (brings good fortune) and also a rock split in half in a pond. I enjoy going to this shrine near Golden Week because there is a Wysteria shelf in the parking lot that is pretty. Usually the shrine is empty and can be a bit difficult to locate. Worth the trouble, though.

Sekino Falls is one of the "100 Best Waterfalls in Japan" mostly for the large rocks at the top of the falls called "potholes". It is easy to walk up the back of the falls to get to these and it is not unusual to see people walking on them. Outside of rainy season the rocks are very exposed and you can walk almost all the way out to the top of the waterfall if you dare. There is nothing and no one to stop you. Be careful as they can be slippery and if a sudden gush of water were to come you could be swept away. This is a nice place to see sakura in early/mid March, or fall leaves in late November!

宮崎県と鹿児島県境にある観光スポット、高千穂牧場の近くにあるレストランで入り口にある大きなアーチが目印です。
この日は、食事ではなくここで飼育されている鶏から生まれた玉子をふんだんに使った濃厚な味のスイーツを土産用に欲しくて立ち寄りました。ここは宮崎県内に位置しているのですが、駐車していた車は宮崎県外車の方が多い感じで、人気の高さがうかがえました。
以前、ここでオムレツを食べたきの印象ですが、とろっとした玉子の感触や味は申し分ないものでした。そのせいもあってか、時間帯によっては平日でも行列ができてしまうほどらしいです。この日も、敷地内にあるレストランは、さすがに賑わっているようでした。
また、広い敷地内のあちこちにはヤギが数匹、放牧されており自由に触れ合うことができます。とにかく敷地が広く、周囲に家がないことも関係してゆっくりくつろぐことができる雰囲気はなかなかのものかと思います。
この店のことは、別稿の拙文でも紹介しておりますが、動物と触れ合えるレストランとして小さい子供さんはもちろん、大人でも十分、楽しめることでしょう。

This park is beautiful, my favorite part about it is the shrine up on the hill. you can go up there and see all of Miyakonojo. During Sakura season this park is a bit too crowded with people for my tastes on the weekends, so I would suggest going at a time when most people are working if you can. It is nice to sit under the trees and let the sakura fall around you. There is also a long path lined with the trees.
It is rated one of the best 100 spots for sakura in Japan. Definitely worth a trip if you are in the area at the right time!

神柱宮の手前にある公園です。奥には子供用遊具らしきものも少しありましたが、全体にガランとして何も無い公園状となっていました。逆にイベントスペースとして使用されるような広がりとなっていました。普段の週末は、散歩に訪れる人が散見されるだけでした。
