Blessed with abundant food sources nurtured by its warm climate, the city hosts an annual event called "Miyazaki Gourmet and Lantern Night", where people can enjoy local specialty dishes with high-quality ingredients along with dishes from all over Japan, under 10,000 colorful lanterns shining in the night sky.
The lanterns are decorated based on themes of each area represented, creating a dreamy atmosphere in the summer night.
