Historical record
In the 3rd month of the 6th year of the Wado era (713),
the land of Hyuga-no kuni was administratively separated from Osumi province. In that same year, Empress Gemmei's Daijo-kan continued to organize other cadastral changes in the provincial map of the Nara period.
In Wado 6, Mimasaka province was sundered from Bizen province; and Tamba province was divided from Tango province. In Wado 5 (712), Mutsu province had been severed from Dewa province.
During the Sengoku period, the area was often divided into a northern fief around Agata castle (near modern Nobeoka), and a southern fief around Obi castle, near modern Nichinan. The southern fief was held by the Shimazu clan of nearby Satsuma for much of the period.
