MiyazakiMuseumsSaito
Saitobaru Archaeological Museum
Buried underground so as not to disturb the mounds, and unusual in letting visitors handle some of the finds.
MiyazakiArchitectureTakachiho
Amano Iwato Shrine
Worship is directed not at a hall but at a cave across the river; nearby, stones piled by visitors have accumulated into a landscape.

Udo Shrine
A vermilion shrine standing inside a sea cave, under a rock ceiling with the Pacific breaking outside.

Obi Castle Town
A castle town of cedar fences and stone walls, the first in Kyushu designated a preservation district.

Mimitsu District
A port trading with Osaka, and so lined with Kyoto-style townhouses rarely seen elsewhere in Kyushu.

Aya Evergreen Forest
A primeval forest saved when the mayor refused a felling plan; a suspension bridge now crosses its canopy.
MiyazakiArchitectureShiiba
Shiiba Village
Where slash-and-burn farming survived longest in Japan; its long houses string every room in a single line along the slope.
MiyazakiArchitectureShiiba
Tsurutomi House
Rooms strung in one line, a plan some read as descended from Heian palace layout, preserved deep in the mountains.
MiyazakiArchitectureNobeoka
Naito Family Garden, Nobeoka
The Nobeoka lords' garden, its pond fed from the town's water and framed by the hills behind.
Hinokage
Stone Terraces of Hinokage
Houses and fields alike stand on stacked stone; the masonry is the condition of the village's existence.

Miyazaki Jingu and the Peace Tower
Nearby stands a 37-metre tower built in 1940 from stones gathered across Japan and overseas - a monument with a contested history.
Hyuga
Stonework of Hyuga
Soft tuff quarried for lanterns and walls; its workability is why stone culture is dense in this province.
MiyazakiArchitectureNobeoka
Industrial Landscape of Nobeoka
A company town grown on chemicals, its chimneys and tanks built into the view of the river and the streets.
Nichinan
Stone Walls of Obi
Walls of finely cut stone laid without gaps - unusually high masonry for southern Kyushu.
Hyuga
Shipping of Mimitsu
Planks from broken-up ships were reused as fencing - material recycling showing directly on the street.
Miyazaki
Modern Architecture of Miyazaki
Large resort buildings from the bubble years, left as the built record of a period's thinking.
Miyakonojo
Miyakonojo Shimazu Residence
A branch of the Shimazu house, its 1930s mixing of Western and Japanese rooms largely intact.
MiyazakiArchitectureAya
Aya Castle
The first castle in Japan rebuilt in real timber rather than concrete, and the precedent for those that followed.
Nobeoka
Ayu Weirs of the Gokase River
Bamboo weirs built across the river each autumn to catch sweetfish, then dismantled - a seasonal structure.

Miyazaki Prefectural Office
Built in 1932 and still the working prefectural office - the fourth-oldest such building in Japan.
