Large keyhole tombs on a plateau above the river, laid out so the mounds can be climbed and their shape felt.

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

Stone-walled paddies cut into the Kyushu range, their contour lines running in tiers across the slope.

Ayu Weirs of the Gokase River
Bamboo weirs built across the river each autumn to catch sweetfish, then dismantled - a seasonal structure.
Hyuga
Citrus Terraces of Hyuga
Citrus terraced on stone; hyuganatsu was discovered by chance in Akae, Miyazaki City, and is a variety native to Miyazaki, now tied to the landscape that grows it.
