Hyuga, Port city in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan.

Hyuga is a port city in Miyazaki Prefecture situated between the Kyushu Mountains and the Hyuga Sea. The coastline features distinctive hexagonal rock formations protected within the Nippo-Kaigan Quasi-National Park.

Archaeological excavations reveal that people lived in this region many thousands of years ago, leaving behind tools and artifacts. These findings establish the area as one of Japan's earliest inhabited places.

The Hyottoko Summer Festival transforms the streets with dancers wearing red happi costumes performing traditional dances. This gathering shows how the community celebrates its local customs and brings people together.

The city experiences warm, humid summers and mild winters with peak rainfall occurring during June and July. Visitors should prepare for these weather conditions and bring appropriate clothing.

The Mimitsu district preserves buildings from the Edo period, recalling its past as a trading hub connected to other regions. These historic structures reflect the commercial prosperity the city once enjoyed.
