Kanoya, Administrative city in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan.
The city extends over 448 square kilometers across the central section of the Osumi Peninsula, between the Takakuma Mountains and Kimotsuki Mountains.
Kanoya developed from a village established in 1889 to a town in 1912, and gained city status in 1941 through mergers with Hanaoka and Oaira villages.
The National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Kanoya contributes to athletic education while supporting the development of Japanese athletes and sports research.
The city operates without passenger rail services, making buses and private vehicles the primary modes of transportation for residents and visitors.
The Kanoya Air Base Museum displays military aviation artifacts and documents the history of the former Imperial Japanese Navy air facility.
