There are, truly, an insane amount of shops, supermarkets, clothing stores, etc. in the city. These are a few that we could find, but if you happen to find one not listed, please reach out to us so we can add it and share your discovery with others!

Shopping Malls

Aeon Mall (map)
Without a doubt the largest shopping mall in Miyazaki City, AEON mall will feel nostalgic to anyone used to spending time in large shopping centers back home. filled to the roof with a variety of shops, entertainment, and a full food court. You can spend your time here doing anything from buying a groceries to chilling with a pig in a cafe. The list of shops can be found on their website here. You’ll find this the perfect place to spend a rainy day, sunny day, or really any day you feel like going. There are multiple parking lots to use, but the ones closes to the mall do fill up fast! Come and enjoy a day at AEON Mall, there’s something here for everyone.

Miyako City (map)
The other large shopping center in the city, Miyako City sits on the southern side of the river and is much easier to get to for many people who live on that side of the river as well. While it does not have as many shops as AEON Mall, there are still an amazing selection of shops to choose from. With food stalls, grocery stores, clothing shops, a bookstore, and more it is useful to know where this gem of Miyazaki City is. It is also one of the only places in Miyazaki City that I have found Root Beer consistently (check out the Kaldi on the first floor). There is a parking garage available as well, make sure to bring your parking ticket with you as some stores offer to redeem it for you so you do not need to pay.

Amu Plaza (map)
A familiar sight to anyone who has traveled to large cities in Kyushu, AMU Plaza can be found at Miyazaki Train Station. A popular spot among the residents and tourists to the city, AMU Plaza has many different stores, restaurants, and more waiting for you to discover. With a movie theater, a shrine on the roof that lets you see the entire city, and a plaza where events and food festivals are often held, it is easy to see why so many people find their way here on the weekends. There is a parking lot and a parking garage, but both are paid, so it might be wroth finding a way to walk or bike here if you don’t feel like paying for parking and its a nice day out.

Tachibana-dori
Tachibana is the main street of Miyazaki city, with the entertainment district and the restaurant district at the northern end, and the City Hall and Prefectural buildings at the south. The same street that leads from Miyazaki Station due west, Takachiho-dori intersects with Tachibana. This can properly be considered the central business and entertainment district of Miyazaki city.
