About Miyazaki
Miyazaki is located on the southeastern coast of Kyushu, Japan's third-largest island. Known as the "Land of Sunshine," it enjoys a warm subtropical climate with over 2,000 hours of sunshine per year, making it one of the warmest regions in Japan.
The city is well-connected domestically with direct flights from Tokyo (Haneda/Narita), Osaka (Itami/Kansai), and Nagoya (Chubu), as well as international connections via Fukuoka and other major hubs in Asia including Seoul, Shanghai, Taipei, and Hong Kong.
Miyazaki Prefecture is renowned for its stunning coastal scenery, sacred shrines rooted in Japanese mythology, world-class local cuisine such as Miyazaki Beef and Chicken Nanban, and a relaxed atmosphere that blends natural beauty with modern convenience.

The campaign is operated by the Japan Tourism Agency and the participating prefectures, not by VTCA 2026. It runs only while each prefecture’s budget lasts, and its end date has not been fixed: it may end at any time without notice, including before or during the conference. Please check the official page before booking. VTCA 2026 does not guarantee that the discount will be available and accepts no responsibility for any change to, or the end of, the campaign.
