In the 3rd month of the 6th year of the Wadōera (713), the land of Hyūga-no kuni was administratively separated from Ōsumi Province (大隈国). In that same year, Empress Gemmei's Daijō-kan continued to organize other cadastral changes in the provincial map of the Nara Period.
During the Sengoku Period, the area was often divided into a northern fief around Agata castle (near modern Nobeoka), and a southern fief around Obi castle, near modern Nichinan. The southern fief was held by the Shimazu clan of nearby Satsuma for much of the period. The Itō clan held control of Hyuga until it was conquered by the Shimazu in 1578.
Hidden Wonders of Hyuga | Exploring the Incredible Coastline and Shrines of Eastern Kyushu, Japan
Day 11 of 12 - Eastern Kyushu faces the Pacific Ocean and we saw some magnificent views of the sea as we drove from Miyazaki up to the hot spring city of Beppu.
There are many hidden shrines in this area of Japan. We decided that a shrine-hunt would be a great way to explore the scenery and discovered four that were very different to each other. Of course, we also stopped off for a very tasty lunch!
Watch this video to see which hidden wonders we found. Check out the amazing views of the ocean too!
