Kuga district

Kuga district is an administrative division in Yamaguchi Prefecture on the western side of Honshu island. The area contains several towns and villages, with Waki serving as the main center before the district's merger into a larger city.

The district was established in 1879 as a separate administrative unit in Yamaguchi Prefecture. In 2006 it merged with neighboring towns and villages to become part of a larger urban area.

The district maintains traditional Japanese administrative practices while adapting to modern governance structures within Yamaguchi Prefecture's organizational framework.

The area sits in the western section of Yamaguchi Prefecture and can be reached from other regional centers. Visitors can explore the local communities that show traditional Japanese settlement patterns and rural features.

The district experienced a significant transformation in 2006 when six towns and one village consolidated to form part of the expanded Iwakuni city.
