Shingu, Town in Kasuya district, Japan

Shingu is a small town in Kasuya district, located about 30 kilometers northwest of Fukuoka city. It consists of quiet residential neighborhoods spread across several districts, characterized by local streets and green spaces.

The town was founded as an independent municipality in 1889 during the Meiji period. A major administrative reorganization took place in 1955 that reshaped its structure.

The town integrates traditional Japanese elements through its neighborhood structures, reflecting local customs in areas such as Midori Ga Hama and Minato Zaka.

The town is easily accessible from Fukuoka by local buses and road connections. The area offers basic services and amenities typical of residential neighborhoods in the region.

Each residential section in Shingū carries specific postal identifiers, such as 811-0118 for Aino Shima and 811-0114 for Minato Zaka, organizing the community systematically.
