Bungoono

Located in eastern Kyushu, Bungo-Ono spans 603 square kilometers of hills and forests with Mount Soboyama reaching 1,756 meters on the Miyazaki Prefecture border point.

The municipality formed in 2005 through the consolidation of seven towns from Ono County: Mie, Ono, Inukai, Asaji, Ogata, Chitose, and Kiyokawa.

Stone Buddha carvings throughout the region demonstrate the connection between local geology and religious artistic expression, particularly visible at the Inukai and Sugao sites.

Six JR train stations across the Hohi Main Line serve the city, with National Routes 10 and 57 providing road connections to neighboring municipalities.

The entire city territory received Japanese Geopark status in 2013 due to its geological formations shaped by ancient pyroclastic flows from Mount Aso.
