Holocene uplift rate of the Miyazaki Plain was estimated based on the elevations and depositional ages of four terrace surface (Shimotajima I to IV surfaces; Nagaoka et al., 1991). However, age data are still poor except for the Shimotajima I surface. We report new data of detailed description of abandoned lagoon sediments of the Shimotajima II to IV surfaces.
