Gokase, Mountain town in Nishiusuki District, Japan.
Gokase spans 171 square kilometers across the Kyushu Mountains, featuring elevations exceeding 1,000 meters in its southern regions.
The town emerged from the merger of Sankasho and Kuraoka villages on August 1, 1956, following centuries as part of the Nobeoka Domain.
Local residents maintain traditional practices of harvesting mountain vegetables and managing fish farms, contributing to the regional food culture.
The town connects to major cities through the Kyushu Chūō Expressway and three national routes: 218, 265, and 503.
The southeastern slope of Mount Kousaka holds Japan's southernmost ski resort, receiving snow despite the region's subtropical classification.
