Mimitsu

Mimitsu is a coastal district on the eastern shore of Miyazaki Prefecture, stretching along dramatic cliffs and wide sandy beaches. The area combines natural rock formations with small settlements nestled between the water and higher ground.

Mimitsu developed in ancient times as an important maritime port for trade between different regions. The port's significance shaped settlement and development patterns across the centuries.

The name Mimitsu refers to the three maritime areas that shape the district, and locals rely on fishing traditions that have defined daily life for generations.

The area is best explored during drier seasons when coastal paths are safe to walk. Regular bus services connect the district with Hyūga town center and other nearby communities.

Fishing in Mimitsu employs methods refined over generations and adapted to local ocean cycles. These practices supply regional restaurants with fresh catches that follow predictable seasonal patterns.
