Nishitachi is the eating and drinking quarter in central Miyazaki City; the Miyazaki City Tourism Association calls it the largest entertainment district in the city for local food and drink. Its retro streets are hung with lanterns on both sides, and it is described as lined with places serving local chicken, Miyazaki beef and shochu.
By air, the Miyazaki City Tourism Association gives about 90 minutes from Haneda, 60 from Itami and 45 from Fukuoka. JR trains leave Miyazaki Airport Station for Miyazaki, Nobeoka and Oita, and Nishitachi is about 13 minutes' walk from Miyazaki Station.
Coming by rail from the south, Kagoshima-Chuo to Miyazaki Station takes about 2 hours; from Beppu in the north it is about 3 hours 30 minutes. From Hakata in Fukuoka, a Shinkansen and highway bus combination takes about 3 hours.
The Miyazaki pages are split into three major areas: Miyazaki City, Miyakonojo City and Nobeoka City. You can choose venues from Nishitachi in Miyazaki City, Muta Town in Miyakonojo and Funakura Town in Nobeoka, so open the town you are staying in first.
Miyazaki is generally fine for a night out. The main risk is bottakuri, a padded bill at the end. Stick to venues that post their prices, skip street touts steering you into ‘free’ bars, and confirm the set fee plus any nomination or bottle charges before you order.
Payment methods vary by venue. Check the listing and confirm with the venue before booking.
