Mimata Town, on the east side of the Miyakonojo Basin in southwestern Miyazaki Prefecture, has an urban area joined with Miyakonojo City. The Wanitsuka Mountains in the east rise to their highest peak, Mt. Wanitsuka. In the Middle Ages, the Kabayama clan, a branch of the Shimazu clan, ruled here, and housing is spreading in this easy-to-live-in town.
