We got tired of driving through so many tunnels on the motorway from Oita heading to Miyazaki, so got off the motorway at Kitaura exit to drive about 5 minutes to get there. It was quiet and a few people were there. Not many parking spaces, so it was good. A beautiful ocean view over the beach, which made us so refreshed after a long drive. We tried a few kinda salt they made in the store, which was quite similar to taste. We got the normal moon salt for baking. We saw alive seafood sold for Gangan yaki, barbecue in the tin box, but we didn't have time to try. Lots of seafood,local food, and souvenirs were there.

(Translated by Google) I went up close, so I went a little further and stopped by. The beach at the back of the roadside station (down the stairs) Shimoaso Beach is a very beautiful sea, and it seems that you can camp nearby. There is also a place where you can eat [Shrimp 10 (Ten) Don] 1000 yen was quite attractive, but I could not eat it before the opening 😵 ⤵️ In the roadside station store, rock oysters and turban shells are also sold in cages It seems that you can also have a barbecue (maybe ... 💧) There was also a vending machine for roasted sweet potatoes 🍠. (Original) 近くまで行ったので 少し足を延ばして寄らせて頂きました。道の駅の奥(階段を降りた先)にある海水浴場 下阿蘇ビーチはとてもキレイな海で、近くではキャンプも出来るみたいです。お食事出来る場所もあり 【えび１０(てん)丼】1000円はかなり魅力的でしたがオープン前で食べられませんでした😵⤵️ 道の駅店内には 岩ガキやサザエなども生け簀で売られていて バーベキューも出来るみたいです(多分…💧) 焼き芋🍠の自販機もありました。

(Translated by Google) You can eat delicious seafood while looking at the sea at the seafood hall. Orders are made from the touch panel, so corona measures are perfect! There is also a brilliant spot on the sea side of the roadside station! (Original) 海鮮館で海を眺めながら、美味しい海鮮が食べられます。注文はタッチパネルからなのでコロナ対策もバッチリ！ 道の駅の海側には、映えスポットもあります！

Camped here. Gorgeous

(Translated by Google) A compact roadside station Katomoikiya Spectacular view! ! ! ! While eating the salted soft-serve ice cream that you can get as a souvenir I took a walk on the beach. It was a weekday so there weren't many people. I had a very relaxing time. Anyway, the water is so clear and beautiful! The wind is pleasant. Looking at the beautiful sea will soothe your soul. There is also a small wagon bakery. I think you can also have a light meal. It's definitely worth going here! (Original) コンパクトな道の駅かとおもいきや 絶景！！！！ お土産さんでいただける塩ソフトをたべながら 浜をお散歩しました。 平日だったので人も少なく とってもゆっくり過ごせました。 とにかく水が透き通っててとっても綺麗！ 風が心地よい。 綺麗な海を見てると心が癒されます。 小さいワゴンのパン屋さんもあり 軽いお食事もできそう。 ここはぜひ行く価値ありですよー！

(Translated by Google) A roadside station located in Kitaura-cho, Nobeoka City, along National Route 388. It overlooks Shimanoura on the opposite shore across Shimoaso Beach, and on a clear day, the view is spectacular. The roadside station itself is small and there are few items for sale, but it is quite large when taken together with the adjacent Shimoaso Beach, campground, sunken ship play equipment, river pool, restaurant marine museum, Shioda Museum, etc. There is. On the other hand, the parking lot is not that large, so please be aware that there are times when it will be full and you will not be able to park. (Original) 国道388号線沿い延岡市北浦町にある道の駅。 下阿蘇ビーチを挟んで対岸の島之浦を望み、晴れた日は展望が素晴らしい。道の駅単体では規模も小さく販売しているものも少ないが、隣接する下阿蘇ビーチや、キャンプ場、沈没船遊具、河川プール、レストラン海洋館、塩田資料館などと一体的に捉えると結構な規模がある。 反面、駐車場の広さはそこまでないので、時期的には満車で駐車できないこともしばしばあるのでご注意。

(Translated by Google) the scenery is amazing It was a weekday, so the parking lot was empty. There are also many souvenirs Salt soft serve is popular. You can also try taking a little walk. (Original) 景色が素晴らしいです 平日だったので駐車場は空いていてました お土産も沢山あり 塩ソフトが人気ですよ 少し散歩してみるのもありです

(Translated by Google) I had the fried shrimp set meal and fried Mexicali. I often eat Mexicali fried chicken because it's served at my workplace...and it's actually so soft and delicious! ! I learned the difference in quality compared to a seafood specialty restaurant... I want to eat it again! ! The fried shrimp is also big! The batter is thin and the tenderness of the shrimp is conveyed well. You can see the sea while eating, so even if you go during the cold winter months, you can enjoy the sea to the fullest. (Original) エビフライ定食、メヒカリの唐揚げを頂きました。 メヒカリの唐揚げは自分の勤める職場でも提供しているのでよく食べているのですが…、本来こんなにホロホロで美味しいものなんですね！！海鮮専門の店との格の違いを知りました…。また食べたいです！！ エビフライも大きい！衣は薄めでエビのプリプリ感がよく伝わります。 食べながら海を眺められるので、冬の寒い時期に行っても海を満喫出来ました。

(Translated by Google) Roadside station Kitaura is nice. It was my first time here, but I have become a fan of this roadside station. Unfortunately it was raining today, but the view of the coast in front of me was absolutely stunning. This alone was soothing. I had the salted soft serve ice cream recommended by a friendly lady at the roadside station, which was also pretty good. It tasted a little salty, but it was very delicious with the milk. I'm not sure about the restaurant since it wasn't open yet, but it looks like they'll be serving local seafood. There are also specimens of large spider crabs and Ryugu's messengers, so children will be happy. There seems to be a campsite, so if you like camping, you can probably do a great sea camping trip. (Original) 道の駅北浦いいですねー。初めて来たのですがここの道の駅のファンになりました。 今日はあいにくの雨模様でしたが、目の前の海岸の景色が最高に素晴らしい。これだけでも癒されました。 道の駅の気さくなおばちゃんのお勧めの塩ソフトをいただきましたがこれもなかなか。少し塩味が濃い感じもしますがミルクと相まって大変美味しかった。 レストランは開店前でしたので分かりませんが、地元の海産物のメニューが食べられそうです。 あと大きなタカアシガニや竜宮の使いの標本もあるのでお子様は喜ぶのでは。 キャンプ場もあるみたいなので、キャンプが好きな方は絶好の海キャンプも出来そうですね。

(Translated by Google) Once you enter Miyazaki, the scenery changes. I waited for a while until the parking lot was full. The restaurant must be popular with long lines. There was a campsite next door, which was a great place. Next time, I would like to take my time to look around on a weekday when there are fewer people. (Original) 宮崎に入ると景色が変わってくる。 駐車場が満車暫く空くのを待っていた。 レストランも大行列で人気なんだろうな。 隣はキャンプ場もあってとても良い所だった。 次回は平日の少し人が少ない時にゆっくり見てまわりたい。

Good

The cherry blossoms here in the spring are amazing!

Nice views!

(Translated by Google) It is located on the top of a small mountain. There is a monument marking the ruins of the castle, but there is almost nothing that reminds us of the castle. There was just a bell ringing. The view from here was so-so. (Original) 小高い山の頂上にあります。城跡の碑がありますが城を偲ばせるものは殆どないです。ただ鐘撞がありました。ここからの景色はまあまあといった感じでした。

(Translated by Google) Stamps of 195 of Japan's 100 Famous Castles are installed in front of the Ninomaru Plaza Management Office entrance. Free parking is available on the north and south sides. The castle is well maintained and you can climb it as if you were just taking a walk. (Original) 続日本100名城195のスタンプは、二ノ丸広場管理事務所入口前に設置されています。 無料駐車場は、北と南にあります。 良く整備されており散歩感覚で登城できます。

(Translated by Google) The castle is definitely a stone wall~ lol Also, the location is great! Gokase River and Ose River It's hard to attack from here because it's sandwiched in between. You can see the entire castle town lol I thought it was an ashigaru and went up to the castle tower. The harder a castle is to climb, the better it is~ lol (Original) お城はやっぱり石垣ですね〜w あと立地もいいですね！ 五ヶ瀬川と大瀬川に 挟まれてこっちからは攻めにくく 城下を一望できるw 足軽だと思って天守台まで行ってみて 登りにくい城ほどいい城です〜笑

(Translated by Google) This is a castle made of stone walls that you can hardly see in Miyazaki. The only building there is a restored gate, but the stone walls and ropes alone are enough to enjoy. There are several parking lots for the park. I didn't know if there was a fee (when I visited the castle at the end of 2022, it was free). (Original) 宮崎でなかなかお目にかかる事ができない石垣造りの城郭です。 建物は復元された門ぐらいしかありませんが、石垣や縄張りだけでも充分楽しめます。 駐車場は公園用の駐車場がいくつかあります。有料かはわかりませんでした(2022年末に訪城さした時は無料でした)。

The parking was big enough but need to be careful to drive around. It was easy to find it from the motorway. The local food, souvenirs, and crafts were in the shop. The restaurant looked nice with the local food ,we didn't have time to try it though. It was only me but not comfy to turn right to the motorway from the exit.

It was super busy when we happened to be there that day. The smoke from a bbq counter was choking but looks like the local people were very used to it so just we "tourists" found the smoke nearly intolerable. Quite a large souvenirs selection with several hot food counters and the usual vending machines. Large car parking area, public toilets were unusually busy and not so clean.

OK for a light meal while traveling.

This road station is located at Kitagawa I.C.(北川I.C.). you can exit this I.C. and find this easily. it can be in from both side highway and local road. Breakfast buffet is from 7:00am to 10:00am every day, but very crowded on weekend. From this station, can reach to Takachiho about 1h. I recomend you to take breakfast here and go from Oita side. From Miyazaki side, you need go through Nobeoka junction and back.

Lots of Miyazaki souvenirs and freshly cooked goods here.

nice place to shopping after travel for a long time

Near ic. Shower

great view and amazing scenery of Japan

Tough Hike to the very top but so pretty!!! as long as you're not afraid of heights. Took a total of 3 1/2 hours. I ran part of it though

If you visit on sunny day, you will see great two peaks,male and female peak, and waterfalls between in those. This area was certified as a "UNESCO echo park" in 2017, especially this mountain is categorised to buffer area. You can reach to the basin of a waterfall in 30 min from closest car park, 45 min from bus station. About 2 hour climing to the summit with nomal route. No need special tools for climb, better to wear sporty ware and shoes for hiking, and no restaurant and shop around, so better to ready before visit. Famous local beer brewarry is available near by here "Hideji-Beer", can taste it if you purchae. public bus is available bound for Mukabaki bus number "". Nobeoka -> Mukabaki 09:00 -> 9:28 13:30 -> 13:58 *Available only weekday 15:35 -> 16:03 Mukabaki -> Nobeoka 07:00 -> 07:28 *Available only weekday 09:30 -> 09:58 16:10 -> 16:38 17:10 -> 17:38

Beautiful. But quite a difficult climb, be ready!

(Translated by Google) Visited 2023/11. It is said to be pronounced Mukabaki Waterfall. I went there because I wanted to see the waterfall, but it was quite tough for someone like me who doesn't have much mountain climbing experience. I went to Takimi Bridge and turned back, but it was a good exercise and I felt a sense of accomplishment. As you can see in the photo, there are some places where there are many large rocks and poor footing. The parking lot can only accommodate about 5 to 6 cars, and you have to walk several hundred meters along a road that is so wide that it is impossible to leave the parking lot. Please be careful when driving! (Original) 2023/11訪問。 行縢(むかばき)の滝と読むそうです。 滝を見たくて行きましたが、登山経験の少ない私にはそれなりに過酷でした。滝見橋まで行って引き返しましたが、良い運動になったし達成感はありました。写真のとおり、大きな岩が多く足場が悪い箇所もたまにあります。 駐車場は大体5～6台しか停められず、離合もできない幅の道を数百mほど進む必要があります。運転にも充分注意してください！

(Translated by Google) Parking available! I feel like I can get around 5 cars! It's a good road to the waterfall! It feels like cobblestone pavement. When I went there, the amount of water was small and it felt like it was flowing smoothly over the monolithic rock, which made me feel calm! There was a flat rock just below the waterfall, so I lay on my back for a while! Then, a Japanese Self-Defense Force fighter jet was flying directly overhead! I missed the photo opportunity only at that time! Is it about 1 hour round trip? I worked up a good sweat! There's a cane at the entrance! (Original) 駐車場あり！5台位いける感じかな！滝までは、程よい道です！石畳みみたいな感じです。私が行った時は、水量は少なくサラサラと一枚岩を流れてる感じで見てて心が穏やかになりました！滝の真下にゴロンとできる平べったい岩があるのでしばらく仰向けになってました！そしたら、真上を自衛隊の戦闘機が飛んでました！その時に限ってシャッターチャンスを逃しましたあ！往復1時間程度かな？いい汗かけました！入り口に杖あります！

(Translated by Google) I suddenly thought of going to Gyōhei Falls! Ever since I went on a field trip in elementary school (50 years ago f^_^;) It's not a hike, it's a solid climb. It says it takes 30 minutes to get to the waterfall, but in summer you should make sure to stay hydrated and take breaks, so it's better to give yourself a little more time. The waterfall seems to be located halfway up Mt. Gyohei, but this time I didn't come properly prepared, so I gave up around the 4th station. I was sweating a lot, so I thought it would be better not to overdo it on my own, so I gave up. I think I'll try it again. (Original) ふと思い立ち行縢の滝に行ってみよう！ 小学校(50年前f^_^;)の遠足で行って以来 ハイキングでは無く、しっかりとした登山です。 滝まで30分と書いてありましたが、夏はちゃんと水分補給と休憩取りながら行くべきなので、もうちょっと余裕を持って行った方が良いです。 滝は行縢山の中腹辺りにあるようですが、今回は、ちゃんと準備をして来なかったので、4合目辺りで断念しました。 汗を沢山かいていたので自己判断で無理はしない方が良いと思い、諦めました。改めて挑戦しようと思います。

(Translated by Google) Mukabaki Falls. 5/7 In the rain, I passed Gyohei Shrine and walked down the narrow road with excitement until I found the upper parking lot. I stopped the car and climbed up. To make it easier to climb, the rocks are skillfully inserted into the soil and fixed in place, making it easy to walk on. Along the way, ropes and metal fittings were fixed to the rocks at steep and slippery spots, which were well maintained. You can reach the waterfall in about 45 minutes by walking slowly. I was soothed by the vertical rock faces, the sound of the waterfall, and the cute purple flowers. I climbed a lot in the rain, so I was tired, but it was worth the effort! If you don't have climbing shoes, I feel like thick-soled athletic shoes will be fine. I think it would be better to wear gloves. (Original) むかばきの滝。 5/7雨の中、行縢神社を通り過ぎて、細い道をドキドキしながら行くと、上の駐車場を発見。車をとめて登りました。登山しやすい様に岩を土に巧く入れ込んで固定してくれていますので、歩きやすいです。途中、急なところや岩肌だけで滑りやすい所はロープや金具を岩に固定しており、良く整備がされていました。ゆっくり歩いて45分位で滝まで行けます。垂直な岩肌と滝の音と可愛い紫の花に癒されました。雨のなか、☂️さしてのぼりましたので、疲れましたが、頑張って行った価値はありました！登山靴なければ、厚底の運動靴でも大丈夫な印象です。手袋はあった方が良いかと。

2023、4、16(日) 25、26年ぶりに来た～😁相変わらずキレイやったなあ‼️やっぱし夏に来たい (Translated by Google) 2023, 4, 16 (Sun) Came here for the first time in 25 or 26 years ~😁 You did beautiful as always!! ️I really want to come in summer

we played football here.

東海岸の須美江ビーチなので、あまり期待せずに行ってみましたが、想像以上の夕焼けの美しさに驚きました。西側で綺麗に焼けた日なので、東側の空もこれだけの美しさ。肌寒い日だったので人がいなくて穏やかな時間を過ごすことができました。 ビーチに来る手前に大きな総合駐車場があるので間違えそうですが、こちらはまだ先へ下ります。無料駐車場もあります。 (Translated by Google) Sumie Beach is on the east coast, so I didn't expect much, but I was surprised by the beauty of the sunset. It was a beautiful day on the west side, so the sky on the east side was just as beautiful. It was a chilly day, so I was able to spend a calm time without people. There is a large general parking lot just before you come to the beach, so you might make a mistake, but this is still going down. Free parking is also available.

Awesome

Nice beach

(Translated by Google) The waves are calm and the sea is blue🎵 Apparently he used to come here every year when he was a child, but it has become more fashionable since then. Here, even small children can safely enjoy swimming in the sea. The lawn was beautiful and seemed to be well-maintained. (Original) 波が穏やかで、海が青い🎵 子供の頃に毎年来ていたそうですが、その頃よりおしゃれな感じになってます。 ここなら小さい子どもでも安心して海水浴を楽しめます。 芝生もキレイで丁寧に管理されている様子でした。

(Translated by Google) The waves are calm and the water is crystal clear. There are few people and you can enjoy it slowly. The trash and floating items were cleaned up, and the floats were refilled with air. I can't imagine this being all free at a beach in Fukuoka 👍 (Original) 波が穏やかで水も透き通ってる。 人も少なくゆっくり楽しめる。 ゴミや漂流物も片付けられていて、浮き輪の空気も入れてもらえた。 これで全て無料とか福岡の海水浴場じゃ考えられない　👍

(Translated by Google) A very nice beach with lots of sand and shady areas. There is also well-maintained lawn and lifeguards. Interesting rocks can be found at the edge of the bay. The bay is very quiet, so the waves are not that high. A good beach for families with children. (Original) Ein sehr schöner Strand mit viel Sand und auch Schattenplätzen. Es gibt auch gut gepflegte Rasenfläche und Rettungsschwimmer. Am Rand der Bucht sind interessante Felsen zu finden. Die Bucht liegt sehr ruhig, deshalb sind die Wellen nicht so hoch. Ein guter Strand für Familien mit Kindern.

(Translated by Google) It wasn't that crowded and it was a very relaxing place. The sea is also beautiful. There is also a well-maintained sports field next door, so it has a beautiful atmosphere. Parking is free and there are several restrooms so you don't have to worry. The shower cost 100 yen for 3 minutes, but 4 people in our family could take a shower. (Original) それほど混んでもなく、とてもほのぼのとした場所でした。 海もキレイです。 隣には整備されたスポーツ広場もあるので、キレイな雰囲気です。 駐車場も無料、何か所かトイレもあるので安心です。 シャワー3分100円ですが我が家は4人浴びれました。
