Mimitsu town which prospered as a port town was the trade and cultural gateway to Kyoto, Kobe and Osaka. The township of Mimitsu was bustling with business and used to be called “Thousand houses of Mimitsu”. The old houses and townscape was designated an important historical building preservation area. You may notice that old houses in the area are heavily influenced by the housing styles of Osaka and Kyoto. You will also see that post boxes on these houses have ancient ships carved into them. Feel the energy of the merchants who lived through the Edo era while taking a stroll through this old port town.

Hi! My name’s Aoi. It might be a bit hard for English speakers to pronounce ...the meaning is the name of a flower. I’m from Miyazaki, Japan. Born and raised. I have been living in another area of Japan for eight years after my graduation, including working in Laos as a consultant assistant. Miyazaki, such a beautiful but unknown area in Japan, I believe that you would undoubtedly love it. Our team created this website especially for you, foreign travelers or anybody who look for something new here! My most favorite place is Kaeda valley. If you want to change your mood or visit a nature-rich secluded spot, it is the best choice ever! Trekking with your camera is also highly recommended. Enjoy your journey:-)
