Gunkei Kakushigura Restaurant

GUNKEI Inakura is a restaurant where you can fully enjoy the local specialty “Miyazaki Jitokko” chicken. Fresh chicken is seared quickly over blazing-hot charcoal, and the signature Jitokko is served with a perfect char and smoky aroma—an essential dining spot when visiting Miyazaki on business or for travel. The most popular item is the “Momo-yaki” (charcoal-grilled thigh), especially delicious with yuzu kosho. Other recommended dishes include the secret-recipe fried chicken, large charcoal-grilled wing (Oteba aburi-yaki), and ultra-fresh chicken sashimi delivered directly from the restaurant’s own farm. The drink lineup is also rich with local and craft beers such as “Taiyo Lager,” “Tsuki no Dark Lager,” “Hana no White Weizen,” and “Miyazaki Hyuganatsu Lager,” plus Miyazaki classics like hiyajiru and chicken nanban. Access: by car, about 13 minutes (approx. 6 km) from Miyazaki Expressway “Miyazaki IC.” By public transportation, about 18 minutes on foot (approx. 1.3 km) from JR Nichinan Line / JR Nippo Main Line “Miyazaki Station” via Minami-Hiroshima-dori. By bus, get off at Miyazaki Kotsu “Tachibana-dori 3-chome” bus stop and walk about 10 minutes.
