Higashisonogi, Coastal municipality in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan
Higashisonogi extends over 74 square kilometers of volcanic hills and coastline along the eastern edge of Omura Bay in Nagasaki Prefecture.
The area contains the Hisagozuka Kofun burial mound from the 5th century and remained under the authority of the Omura Domain throughout the Edo period.
Local traditions center around commercial fishing practices and the cultivation of green tea fields, which shape the agricultural identity of this Japanese town.
The town maintains direct railway connections through the Omura Line, operated by JR Kyushu, with stations at Sonogi and Chiwata serving local communities.
With a population density of 99 people per square kilometer, the town balances agricultural production between rice paddies and tea plantations near the coast.
