About Nichinan Sunflower Garden
A mysterious site with seven Moai statues facing away from the azure sea of Miyazaki.
Details
Located on a small hill overlooking the Nichinan coastline, this tourist facility features the eye-catching and spectacular "Moai Statues." These are the only Moai statues in the world that have been fully replicated with the permission of the elders of Easter Island. The sight of seven Moai statues lined up with their backs to the sea is filled with historical romance and mystery.
In addition to various Moai statues, such as the "Love Moai," which deepens the emotional bond between couples, and the "Severing Fate Moai," which cuts off bad relationships, the park also offers multiple photo spots. These include "The Viewer," adorned with figurines of various colors, and swings that soar towards the sea.
Near the entrance, the welcoming square features shops and cafes, while the area around the "Sky Tower" on the hillside has restaurants and a central plaza with an insect exhibition room, making it a great place to relax. The park is spacious and has many slopes, and visitors can rent park vehicles (for a fee) at the welcoming square for added convenience.
