Kitagawa Area is the northern entrance of Nobeoka. This lovely area is rich in nature and history. The deep forest, the miraculous limpid stream of Kogawa River, towering rocky mountain of Mt. Okue, Enomisasagi – the burial of a Shintoism god of Ninigi no Mikoto, and the place in connection with “Takamori Saigo” – one of the political figures to overthrow the Tokugawa Shogunate – are among the popular tourist destinations in the city. All kinds of outdoor recreation are available throughout the year, which offer all visitors the fascinating experience amid the great nature. Kogawa River, known as the miraculous limpid stream, is especially known for the canoe touring adventure, and people visit the river to camp and have a great time during the summer. When you have too much fun, sooth yourself at the “Hourigawa Hot Spring Spa for the Beauty”. If you are into shopping, don’t forget to visit “Roadside Station Kitagawa Hayuma”.
