explanation: Located in the northern Miyazaki prefecture, on the delta of Gokase river, facing Pacific Ocean, Nobeoka appeared first in the history with the name of "Agata" then developed as a castle town in the middle ages. But its development really began when "Nihon chisso hiryo", actual "Asahi chemical industry" had installed a fertilizer factory in 1923. With the other factories such as chemical and plastic industries, Nobeoka has become the industrial center of Miyazaki. The population is 128,000.
