Miyazaki: Gateway to Mythical Takachiho
Miyazaki, in southern Kyushu, is blessed with a mild climate, a long Pacific coastline and Takachiho, a highland area deeply tied to Japanese mythology. The sheer cliffs of Takachiho Gorge make it one of Kyushu's most striking landscapes.
On Halal Gourmet Japan, you can find a soba restaurant serving noodles made from Takachiho-grown buckwheat with an original broth and seasonal local vegetables. Its page also lists pork-free meals and halal-related registrations for meals, meat and seasonings, so it is worth checking the details before your visit.
Use the Halal Gourmet Japan map to check restaurant details along your route, and combine a bowl of Takachiho soba with the gorge, the coastline and Miyazaki's easygoing pace.
