Ninjō Yokochō — Nishitachi (人情横丁・ニシタチ) 人情横丁
About 1,200 venues in a few streets: it is the largest nightlife district in the prefecture.
The district is in the heart of Miyazaki city, about 13 minutes on foot from the JR station. The name ‘Nishitachi’ is the popular contraction of Nishi-Tachibana-dōri, the main street of the area; the Ninjō Yokochō alley is its most intimate heart, with its crowded signs and the lanterns that give it the atmosphere behind the name ‘alley of human warmth’ (人情, ninjō). It is a district that comes alive above all in the evening, when workers leave their offices and the venues open one after another all through the night.
