Miyazaki City (Mi-ya-za-ki) 宮崎市 is located on the lower eastern side of Kyushu Island, the most southern of the four major islands of Japan.

Jimmu, the first emperor of Japan, was born and then reigned in the Miyazaki area. In 1940 the Japanese government erected a
monument (Heiwadai Tower) to Emperor Jimmu where his original palace is considered to have existed. Emperor Jimmu is said to have ascended to the thrown in 660BC, but no firm date has been confirmed.
The city has long been a place where people have traveled to relax and enjoy beaches, parks, and other natural spots.

Aso, which is over 60 miles from the gorge.
