Biking Around Miyazaki: The Beauty, The Thrill, The Soreness Afterwards

Kim and I like to take random bike trips once in awhile. That's why back in June we decided to do a bike trip from Miyazaki city to Aya town, which is about 26 km. Basically, there is a bike route with signs to tell us where to go and how far we are to our destination.






It starts in downtown Miyazaki and goes along the Oyodo river. The path was mostly flat, with only a couple of hills here and there. Although it was far, the scenery and beauty of Miyazaki is well worth it. Yes, you do mostly see rice fields, the river and a whole lot of countryside, but for a city girl like me, the view on our way to Aya and then back to Miyazaki was breathtaking.









The bike ride also seemed to go faster because Kim and I took it easy, instead of speeding through the bike route. We also chatted, laughed, took in the scenery and  enjoyed ourselves.


Miyazaki prefecture is so underrated and unappreciated. I'm constantly left speechless by my surroundings and experiences here.
