Mimitsu District
A port trading with Osaka, and so lined with Kyoto-style townhouses rarely seen elsewhere in Kyushu.

Shiiba Village
Where slash-and-burn farming survived longest in Japan; its long houses string every room in a single line along the slope.

Tsurutomi House
Rooms strung in one line, a plan some read as descended from Heian palace layout, preserved deep in the mountains.

Naito Family Garden, Nobeoka
The Nobeoka lords' garden, its pond fed from the town's water and framed by the hills behind.

Stone Terraces of Hinokage
Houses and fields alike stand on stacked stone; the masonry is the condition of the village's existence.

Miyazaki Jingu and the Peace Tower
Nearby stands a 37-metre tower built in 1940 from stones gathered across Japan and overseas - a monument with a contested history.

Industrial Landscape of Nobeoka
A company town grown on chemicals, its chimneys and tanks built into the view of the river and the streets.
Nichinan
Stone Walls of Obi
Walls of finely cut stone laid without gaps - unusually high masonry for southern Kyushu.
Hyuga
Shipping of Mimitsu
Planks from broken-up ships were reused as fencing - material recycling showing directly on the street.
Miyazaki
Modern Architecture of Miyazaki
Large resort buildings from the bubble years, left as the built record of a period's thinking.
Miyakonojo
Miyakonojo Shimazu Residence
A branch of the Shimazu house, its 1930s mixing of Western and Japanese rooms largely intact.
MiyazakiArchitectureAya
Aya Castle
The first castle in Japan rebuilt in real timber rather than concrete, and the precedent for those that followed.
Nobeoka
Ayu Weirs of the Gokase River
Bamboo weirs built across the river each autumn to catch sweetfish, then dismantled - a seasonal structure.

Miyazaki Prefectural Office
Built in 1932 and still the working prefectural office - the fourth-oldest such building in Japan.
