Iwarebiko is the third generation from Ninigi and the former name of the first Japanese Emperor, Emperor Jinmu.<\/p>\n

In Takachiho’s palace, Iwarebiko was discussing with his brother, Itsuse.
\n Iwarebiko said, \u201cWhich place do you think will be the best to rule the whole country peacefully? Let\u2019s go to explore the east!\u201d<\/p>\n

So, Iwarebiko and Itsuse decided to go and find the best place in the east.<\/p>\n

Mimitsu Harbor<\/p><\/div>\n

They sailed on a ship from Mimitsu harbor of Himuka (present Miyazaki Pref.) and departed on the eastern expedition.<\/p>\n

First place they arrived was Usa (present Usa city in Oita Pref.). They received a warm welcome from the local people of Usa. The second place they arrived was Tsukushi (present Fukuoka Pref.) and stayed in the palace of Okada for one year. After one year, they again went to sea to head the east. The third place they arrived was Aki (present Hiroshima Pref.) and stayed in Takeri palace for 7 years. The fourth place they reached was also Kibi (present Okayama Pref.) and styed in Takashima palace for 8 years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When they began sailing further toward the east from Kibi, they encountered a man fishing on the back of a turtle at Hayasui No To (near present Kojima Bay).<\/p>\n

They asked the man, \u201cWho are you?\u201d<\/p>\n

The man replied, \u201cI am Kunitsu Kami (the deity of land)\u201d<\/p>\n

They asked, \u201cDo you know the sea route?\u201d<\/p>\n

The man replied, \u201cI know it very well.\u201d<\/p>\n

They also asked the man, \u201cWill you serve us as a maritime pilot?\u201d<\/p>\n

The man answered, \u201cSure!\u201d<\/p>\n

They named the man Saonetsuhiko.<\/p>\n
