Yosano Town is in the Kaya Valley, formed by the Noda River at the base of the Tango Peninsula, and the river flows into the Aso Inland Sea inside Amanohashidate. It produces Tango chirimen (silk crepe), and old streets of the Chirimen Kaido remain in Kaya. Many kofun also remain, such as Ebisuyama Kofun, a large keyhole-shaped mound.
