Miyazaki is moderately expensive for a tourist. The cost of food, transportation, and accommodation can add up quickly, but there are affordable options available.

Look for local markets and street vendors for cheaper food options. Consider staying in a hostel or guesthouse instead of a hotel. Use public transportation or rent a bike to save on transportation costs.

Miyazaki is famous for producing quality green tea that has a refreshing taste. Try it out with locals while enjoying the lush sceneries of their tea fields.

Greet people with a bow

Enjoy the beaches
