Surfing in Hyuga, Miyazaki

Hyuga (日向市) is a city located in the prefecture of Miyazaki, Japan. Surfers come from all over Japan to enjoy perfect waves throughout the year. The city is known to be sunny and relaxed. The municipality is welcoming surfers for visiting and settling. Here is my selection of surf spots I enjoy visiting:
