Historical record
In the 3rd month of the 6th year of the Wadō era (713), the land of Hyūga-no kuni was administratively separated from Osumi 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.
In Wadō 6, Mimasaka province (美作国) was sundered from Bizen province (備前国); and Tamba province (丹波国) was divided from Tango province (丹後国).1 In Wadō 5 (712), Mutsu province (陸奥国) had been severed from Dewa province (出羽国).1
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.
