About Udo Jingu Shrine ― how to enjoy a walk
A rare shrine where the main hall sits inside a cliff cave overlooking the Hyuga Sea. Famous for safe-birth blessings and the tradition of throwing "lucky pebbles" onto Kameishi Rock.
About 10 minutes down stone steps from the parking to the main hall. Cliff views and crashing waves are dramatic. Allow ~1 hour.
Smoking rules and things to watch around Udo Jingu Shrine
Tourist areas across Miyazaki have widely adopted street-smoking bans, with fines for violations. Indoors, the revised Health Promotion Act mandates smoke-free environments by default; smokers must use a designated smoking room, a heated-tobacco-only room, or an outdoor designated smoking spot.
The sacred grounds, cave, and approach are non-smoking. Smoking only at the designated parking area. Never toss butts onto the rocky shore.
How to find smoking areas near Udo Jingu Shrine
- Check designated smoking areas inside or in front of major stations first
- Use indoor smoking rooms in large shopping complexes, department stores, and airports — weather-proof and reliable
- Heated-tobacco-only rooms sometimes allow eating and drinking; filter by your device type
- Carry a portable ashtray and never smoke on the street if no designated area is available
