How much would it cost to go to Orix Miyazaki from Hyogo? I’m planning a 1-night, 2-day trip.
The Journey Begins: From Hyogo to Miyazaki
So, I recently decided to take a little escape from Hyogo to Orix Miyazaki for
a quick 1-night, 2-day trip. Let me tell you, it was a whirlwind of adventure, snacks, and a few “oops” moments along the way. If you’re thinking of doing the same, here’s how my trip went and what it cost me. First off, I woke up way too early because I was paranoid about missing my train. (Why do I always do this to myself?) I ended up at the station an hour before departure, sipping on a vending machine coffee that tasted like… well, let’s just say it wasn’t my proudest moment. But hey, I was excited!
Transportation: The Budget Breakdown
I took the Shinkansen from Shin-Kobe Station to Hakata Station in Fukuoka, which cost me around ¥14,000 (one way). From there, I hopped on a domestic flight to Miyazaki Airport, which was another ¥10,000-ish. I know, I know—flying isn’t the cheapest option, but I wanted to save time. If you’re on a tighter budget, you could take a bus or train, but be prepared for a longer journey. Once I landed in Miyazaki, I took a local bus to Orix Miyazaki, which was about ¥1,500. Pro tip: If you’re carrying luggage, make sure to check the bus schedule in advance. I almost missed mine because I was too busy admiring the palm trees (yes, palm trees in Japan—who knew?).
Accommodation: Cozy and Affordable
I stayed at a cute little business hotel near Orix Miyazaki for around ¥6,000 per night. It wasn’t fancy, but it was clean, comfortable, and had free Wi-Fi. Plus, the staff were super friendly and even gave me a map of local ramen spots. (Spoiler: I tried three of them in one day. No regrets.)
Food and Fun: Indulging in Miyazaki’s Delights
Speaking of food, let’s talk about the real star of the trip: Miyazaki beef. I splurged on a teppanyaki dinner that cost me ¥5,000, and it was worth every yen. The beef melted in my mouth like butter, and the chef even let me try flipping a piece on the grill. (Spoiler: I failed miserably, but it was hilarious.) I also visited the Orix Miyazaki area, which is known for its beautiful beaches and relaxed vibe. I spent hours just walking along the shore, collecting seashells, and pretending I was in a Studio Ghibli movie. The best part? It was completely free!
Total Cost: The Nitty-Gritty
Here’s a quick breakdown of my expenses: – Transportation: ¥25,500 (round trip) – Accommodation: ¥6,000 – Food: ¥7,000 (including my beef extravaganza and way too many snacks) – Miscellaneous: ¥2,000 (souvenirs, bus fares, etc.) So, all in all, my trip cost around ¥40,500. Not too bad for a mini getaway, right?
Final Thoughts: A Trip to Remember
This trip was such a refreshing break from the daily grind. Sure, I had a few hiccups (like arriving way too early and overpacking snacks), but those little imperfections made it even more memorable. Miyazaki’s laid-back atmosphere and delicious food left me feeling recharged and inspired. If you’re planning a similar trip, I’d love to hear about it! What’s your favorite part of Miyazaki?
