Takanabe Town is a coastal town located in the eastern part of Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan, under Kodomo-gun, with an area of about 20 square kilometers and a population of about 7,000. It is bordered by Misato Town to the north, Shintomi Town to the south, Kawanami Town to the west, and the Pacific Ocean to the east, and is known for its warm climate and agriculture.
Takanabe Town has a long history as a castle town of the Takanabe Clan in the Edo period, and retains its traditional samurai culture and historical buildings, such as the ruins of Takanabe Castle. The Takanabe Kagura Festival, held every fall, is an important folkloric event that showcases local dances and music. The town is also famous for its lacquerware, Takanabe Lacquerware, which has been handed down for over 400 years.
The economy is based on agriculture, with citrus fruits, vegetables and rice being produced in abundance, and fishing along the coast. In recent years, tourism has been actively developed to promote hot spring resources (such as Takanabe Hot Spring) and natural landscapes, such as sunrise viewpoints along the Pacific Ocean coastline.
Takanabe Town is connected to Miyazaki City and Oita Prefecture via Route 10 and the Nihonbutsu Main Line Railroad, and is about 40 minutes from Miyazaki Airport. The town is small and quiet, ideal for experiencing Japanese rural culture and seaside relaxation.
