Miyazaki, Japan

Miyazaki, set along the southeastern shores of the island of Kyushu, is known for its warm year-round climate and as Japan’s sunniest city. Steeped in history—the shrine dedicated to Japan’s first emperor resides here—Miyazaki is also important to Japanese mythology. Legend says nearby Takachiho, a stunning gorge with sheer cliffs and a cascading waterfall, is where the gods descended to Earth to create Japan. The surrounding prefecture is famous for raising Wagyu cattle, its highly prized beef famed for its exquisite marbling, mouthwatering tenderness and unique flavor.
