Nobeoka City, the main city of northern Miyazaki Prefecture, grew as an industrial city where Asahi Kasei was founded. In this castle town of the Nobeoka Domain, the castle ruins keep a high stone wall called "Sennin-goroshi" (killer of a thousand). Many rivers, including the Gokase River, meet here, and in autumn, weirs (yana) are set to catch ayu (sweetfish).
