Miyazaki Shrine is a [[Shinto shrine]] in [[Miyazaki prefecture]], on [[Kyushu]], established in the late 1880s and dedicated to the spirit of [[Emperor Jimmu]]. The shrine is said to mark the location where, according to the ''[[Kojiki]]'' and ''[[Nihon shoki]]'', [[Ninigi-no-mikoto]], the grandson of [[Amaterasu]], descended from the heavens, and where Ninigi's great-grandson, the first human [[Emperor]], Jimmu, is said to have been born.
