宮崎神宮
A shrine in the city's center, sacred to Japan's first emperor, Jinmu. There are two shrines in the place: one is the main shrine on the east side, and the other one is the Miyazaki Gokoku Shrine (宮崎縣護國神社) on the west side. The Miyazaki Gokoku Shrine, sacred soldiers who died in World War II, is much smaller than the main one. A path between the two shrines can lead visitors to the Miyazaki Prefectural Museum of Nature and History.

The park is known for Heiwadai Tower (平和の塔) or Peace Tower (also known as the Hakkō ichiu monument) built as a symbol of world peace. It's also home to the famous Haniwa Garden with hundreds of haniwa, which were once placed around ancient burial mounds, scattered around.
