How the spots group

In Takachiho, the Takachiho Gorge is 0.4 km from Takachiho Shrine in a straight line and 1.6 km from Kushifuru Shrine, and Amanoiwato Shrine is in the town too. In Nobeoka, Nobeoka Castle Ruins is 0.6 km from the Naitō Memorial Museum. In the city of Miyazaki, Phoenix Seagaia Resort is 0.5 km from Eda Shrine, and Miyazaki Shrine and Aoshima, Miyazaki are in the city too. In Nichinan, the Obi Castle Town is 0.3 km from Obi Castle, and Udo Shrine is in Nichinan as well; Toi Cape is in Kushima, about 139 km from Nobeoka.

Where to start

The one checked route is to Aoshima, Miyazaki: the JR Nichinan Line to Aoshima Station, then on foot to the shrine on the island. Other pages name the nearest station: Nobeoka on the Nippō Main Line for Nobeoka Castle Ruins, Miyazaki-Jingū for Miyazaki Shrine, Obi on the Nichinan Line for the Obi Castle Town and Obi Castle, and Tsuno for Tsuno Shrine. No station is listed near the Takachiho Gorge, Udo Shrine or Toi Cape.

Seasons and closures

Few seasonal notes appear on these pages: Tsuno Shrine holds its main festival on 5 December, and the Ocean Dome water park at Phoenix Seagaia Resort closed in September 2007.
