What is the Yayoi Bridge? Can I drive across it?

The Yayoi Bridge crosses from Aoshima Beach to the island itself. It is a pedestrian-priority road, so cars cannot be taken onto the island; you walk across to reach the shrine. The bridge itself gives a fine view of the Devil's Washboard.

How do I get there by train or bus?

Get off at Aoshima Station on the JR Nichinan Line and walk about 10 minutes (about 800 m) to the Yayoi Bridge. From Miyazaki Station the journey takes about 25 minutes. By bus, take a service towards Aoshima from central Miyazaki.

What is the Devil's Washboard?

It is the popular name for the strange rock formations around Aoshima. Officially the raised seabed and eroded rock formations of Aoshima, they are a national natural monument. Strata formed under the sea were uplifted at an angle and eroded by wind and waves into a jagged, washboard-like surface.

I heard the whole island is a special natural monument. What does that mean?

Are there recommended matchmaking spots or ways to pray?

There are plenty of matchmaking customs: the tunnel of votive tablets known as the Inori-no-Komichi, tying a paper cord with your wish written on it to the paired biro palms, throwing earthenware discs at the sacred rock enclosure (a wish comes true if one lands inside), and love fortunes.
