Travel to Miyazaki

Buy a Flight ticket to and from Miyazaki

Miyazaki has its own airport. JAL, ANA and the discount carrier Solaseed (formerly Skynet) have regular Flights from Tokyo Haneda Airport, Osaka Itami Airport and other locations throughout Japan. There are Flights to Seoul and Taipei through Asiana and EVA respectively. Airline pricing is highly variable, but the cheapest option to Miyazaki is usually the Solaseed ¥10,000 "Visit Japan" fare for travelers with a “Temporary Visitor” visa (the same requirement as the JR Pass) which is good for just about any single flight on the airline. This is crucially a standby ticket though, so you may have trouble during peak demand periods. Peak demand in Japan is around New Years, Golden Week (end of April/start of May), and Obon in August, and of course, Friday and Sunday evenings are always more busy than weekdays.

Buses connect the airport to the main Miyazaki station in 25 minutes (¥400), while the JR Miyazaki Airport Line runs 1-2 trains per hour to Minami-Miyazaki station (¥340). If you are under 21, you can get cheaper tickets.

Muslim Friendly Rail Holidays in Miyazaki

Most people will take the Kirishima limited express which makes multiple daily runs from Kagoshima (2-2.5 hours, ¥4100).

If you connect to the Shinkansen in Kagoshima, it is another 2 hours for Hakata to Kagoshima (2.5 hours from Kukura). You can take a single Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka to Kagoshima in 4.5-5 hours.

Another option and the more scenic route, from Kokura station in Kitakyushu and the first stop in Kyushu on the San'yo Shinkansen, is to take the Sonic limited express to Oita or Beppu and transfer to the Nichirin limited express (¥8300). A few Nichirin trains run from Kokura or Hakata in Fukuoka directly to Miyazaki, with no change of trains necessary, but most people that take this route like to stop to see Beppu. The route is about 5 hours which is about the same as the Shinkansen route from Kokura.

Note that there was also an overnight service and the Dream Nichirin, which ran over the same route, however this train service was discontinued on March 11, 2011 (in conjunction with the opening of the completed the Kyushu Shinkansen).

There is no charge for the above services with a Japan Railway Pass, and there is a JR All Kyushu Pass that covers all routes as well, aside from the reference to the Shinkansen in Kokura and beyond. The Kyushu Shinkansen stops at Hakata; Hakata to Shin-Osaka (including Kokura) is owned by JR West, so you would need a JR West Pass for that section.

Starting on March 12, 2011, a highway bus operated by JR Kyushu began to Miyazaki from the Shin-Yatsushiro bullet train station. The "B&S Miyazaki" (B&S for Bus and Shinkansen) will operate once per hour, timed with the arrival of the bullet trains from Fukuoka. The bus trip takes just over 2 hours from Shin-Yatsushiro at a cost of ¥6,150 each way. The overall journey from Fukuoka to Miyazaki will be shortened to just over 3 hours using this train/bus combination. The bus is not valid with the Japan Railway Pass, but bus tickets can be purchased at any JR Midori-no-Madoguchi seat reservation counter.

Hourly buses run from Fukuoka to Miyazaki in about 4½ hours at a cost of ¥6000.

In the town of Aya, which is around 20 kilometers from Miyazaki City proper and there is a complex called the Aya Shusen-no-mori. There is a fruit cocktailry, organic juice brewery and shochu distillery all on site. The organic juice made here is German-style, and of a high standard.

The organic juice is far superior to the macro-brewed Japanese lagers such as Asahi Super Dry or Kirin Lager.
