Japan. Lesson 1

Miyazaki
Miyazaki in Japan has some unreal sights that will totally trip you out. It’s known for its chill vibe, awesome beaches, and crazy cool nature!

One wild fact—there’s a place called Aoshima Island where palm trees grow, and it feels like you’re in Hawaii, not Japan! The island also has these weird rock formations called “Devil’s Washboard.” Seriously, nature went full artist mode here.

Plus, Miyazaki is where you can try mangoes that are super sweet and cost more than a new phone. No joke! If you're into surfing, sunsets, or just good food, this place is a total win.
