Aoshima Island

Reviewed By BuccaneerDave - Nanaimo, Canada

Saw this is a guidebook and decided we must go. So happy we did. The whole community has a great laid back surfer vibe. The gardens in the town are beautiful. Countless people came up to us to have a quick chat. Wish we had stayed a night there. The washboard is fantastic. Such a unique and interesting formation that carries on down the coast for miles. This is the easiest spot to stop and have a look at. As others have done, we timed our visit for low tide to get the best effect. Daytrip from Miyazaki-shi. The temple on the island has a very lovely garden area tucked into the centre. Very interesting. Really enjoyed our day there.

Aoshima Shrine

Reviewed By trishsoto - Irvine, United States

Amazing and peaceful. Well worth a short regional train ride from Miyazaki to visit Aoshima, the village, the gardens and the walk to this island shrine. Nothing short of wonderful.

Miyazaki Shinto Shrine

Reviewed By Cyber0515 - Tokyo, Japan

境内を歩くと、『明治神宮や熱田神宮などのような日本を代表する典型的な神宮』という印象を受けますが、大都市に鎮座する神社でない分人もそれほど多くなく、日本人がこれまで大切にしてきた『神の坐す場所』のような雰囲気を感じられる神社です。境内には豊かな森が広がっており、観光客を呼び込むようないわゆる奇を衒った施設もありません。日々の喧噪から離れ、静かな環境の中で散策するだけでもいいでしょう。 境内はほとんど起伏がないため、歩いてて疲れることはほとんどありませんが、参道の多くは砂利や土であるため、車いすでの移動はやや不向きです。 Walking around the grounds, you get the impression that it's 'a typical Japanese grand shrine like the Meiji Shrine or Atsuta Shrine'. On the other hand, unlike those big city shrines, this shrine is not so crowded. It's a place where you can experience the atmosphere of the "God's Place" that the Japanese have cherished for so many years. With the exception of festivals, there are basically no events or facilities to entertain tourists. You can also use this place to get away from the daily hustle and bustle and take a stroll in a quiet environment. There are almost no ups and downs on the grounds. Therefore, you will hardly get tired when you walk around. However, many of the approaches are unpaved or gravel, so people in wheelchairs may find it difficult to use them.
