Oyodo River & Tachibana Bridge

The Oyodo River Waterfront

The Oyodo is the principal river of southern Kyushu, rising in the mountains of the interior and emptying into the Pacific just east of this view. As it curves through central Miyazaki it widens into a broad, placid channel framed by grassy embankments, cycle paths and rows of palms that give the city its subtropical character.

Tachibana Bridge and Route 220

The steel Tachibana Bridge (橘橋) is one of the busiest crossings in the prefecture, carrying National Route 220 between the downtown core and the residential districts on the south bank. Its repeated girder spans and the slender pier markers in the water are an instantly recognisable part of the Miyazaki skyline.

A Southern Kyushu River City

Backed by mid-rise apartment blocks and office towers, the riverbank doubles as one of the city's favourite recreation corridors, busy with walkers, runners and anglers. The scene captures the relaxed, palm-lined mood that makes Miyazaki a popular gateway to Japan's warm south.
