- Getting there
- About 1 hr 30 min by Miyazaki Kotsu bus (for Obi) from JR Miyazaki Station to Udo Jingu, then about 10 min on foot; the approach to the shrine takes about 20 min more
- Good to know
- Udo Jingu opens 6:00 and closes 18:00. The path is rough and slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. Goshuin stamps are at the Udo Jingu shrine office. After heavy rain in September 2026 the road to Udo Jingu's parking lots 1 and 2 collapsed and is closed; use the tourist car park (about 20 min on foot to the main hall; full reopening date not set)
