Insider tip — 'Yamagiri' (山霧 — mountain mist) at Nango Onsen in Misato-cho (美郷町 — beautiful village), inland Miyazaki. Misato was formed from Nango, Kitago, and Nishigo towns — three former municipalities in the forested highlands between the Gokase and Mimi rivers. 'Mountain mist' is the defining meteorological feature of these Miyazaki highlands: warm Pacific moisture rising against the forested ridges, creating a perpetual soft haze that has inspired artists and onsen visitors alike.
