Goka, Agricultural town in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan.

Located in eastern Japan, Goka spreads across 23 square kilometers of flatlands where the Tone, Edo, and Naka rivers intersect through the landscape.

Established as a village in 1889 during the Meiji period reforms, Goka originated in Shimōsa Province before transferring to Ibaraki Prefecture in 1875.

Local residents maintain agricultural traditions through seasonal festivals and community gatherings that connect generations of farmers in the region.

The town connects to major cities through the Ken-Ō Expressway at Goka Interchange, while the nearest rail stations include Kurihashi on the Utsunomiya Line.

Six industrial parks within Goka house manufacturing facilities for major companies, including Kewpie Corporation and KIKKOMAN SoyFoods production plants.
