Takanabe, Coastal town in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan

Located in northern Miyazaki Plain, Takanabe stretches along the Hyuga Sea where the Komaru River meets the ocean through a 43.8 square kilometer area.

The Akizuki clan controlled Takanabe from the Sengoku period, developing it into a castle town during the Edo period around Takanabe Castle.

The Meirindo school, established in 1778, set high educational standards by accepting students from different social classes, marking a progressive approach to learning.

The town maintains two elementary schools, two junior high schools, and two high schools, while offering transport connections via the Nippo Main Line railway.

Wild oysters in Takanabe require three to four years to mature at the intersection of Omaru River and Hyuga-nada Sea, developing their particular flavor.
