Hyuga province


Hyūga Province (日向国 Hyūga no kuni?) was an old province of Japan on the east coast of Kyūshū, corresponding to the modern Miyazaki Prefecture. It was sometimes called Nisshū (日州?) or Kōshū (向州?). Hyūga bordered on Bungo, Higo, Ōsumi, and Satsuma Province.

The ancient capital was near Saito.

In the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki, Hyūga is called Kumaso Province (熊曽国 Kumaso no kuni?) of Tsukushi-no-shima (Kyushu), along the provinces of Tsukushi, Toyo and Hi.
