Cultural Activities
Known as “the land of greenery and sunshine,” Miyazaki Prefecture also features an array of interesting attractions that can be enjoyed individually or combined in a full day trip for leisure travelers.
As well as great local restaurants, the city offers a wealth of historical sights and exquisite flower gardens featuring seasonal blossoms. These include Heiwadai Park, located in a hilly region overlooking downtown Miyazaki. It features a 37-meter tower of peace built with stones collected from all over the world. The park is famous for its Haniwa (clay figurine) garden, replicating figurines originating in burial grounds. Located minutes from the Phoenix Seagaia Resort, Eda Shrine was selected as one of the official shrines of Japan in 837 AD. It is located in Awakigahara, a place believed to be the birthplace of the gods. Miyazaki Shrine is dedicated to the worship of the first emperor of Japan, the Emperor Jimmu, and Saitobaru boasts the widest expanse of ancient burial mounds in the country. Shimin-no-mori (Citizen’s Park) features a glorious display of Sakura, Iris and Camellia gardens, while the popular Aoshima Island is famous for its 27 species of sub-tropical plants and distinctive, exposed plate-like rocks carved by wave erosion into the so called “Ogre’s Washboard.”
World-Class Facilities and International Cuisine
Of course no vacation is complete without world-class hotel and resort facilities. Phoenix Seagaia’s flagship hotel, Sheraton Grande Ocean Resort, has 753 guest rooms and suites all with magnificent views of the blue waters of the Pacific. Sheraton Phoenix Golf Resort is a 296-room haven that looks out over undulating fairways, a resplendent forest of black pine and Miyazaki City. All accommodations are tastefully appointed and just minutes away from Phoenix Seagaia’s great entertainment and recreation facilities.
With eighteen international restaurants and bars, guests can also enjoy superb world-class cuisine from the corners of the world. The appointment of international Culinary Director Willie Ruck and Director of Food & Beverage Terry Hamada has brought the most recent and exciting changes with the reopening of L’escale Restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week. Culinary Director Willie Ruck and his team have created a delicious Italian buffet lunch and followed it up with a magnificent Mediterranean dinner buffet. With a wealth of experience from a career spanning some of the finest hotels and resorts in the world, German-bom Ruck is a creative master and this can been seen in the delightful array of dishes he presents in both buffet styles.
Chinese food is always a favorite and Lan Hai Restaurant at Sheraton Grande Ocean Resort is no exception, with distinctive Chinese dishes prepared by new Chinese Chef Tzaan Ling. Authentically prepared Cantonese and Szechuan cuisine is served either family style or a la carte.
