Kama

Located in central Fukuoka Prefecture, Kama extends over 135 square kilometers with the Onga River flowing through its center and Chikushi Mountains rising in the south.

The city formed on March 27, 2006, through the merger of Yamada City and the towns of Kaho, Usui, and Inazuki under a regional reorganization initiative.

The municipality maintains eight elementary schools, five junior high schools, and two high schools, demonstrating its commitment to education and community development.

Transportation access includes service by JR Kyushu's Gotōji Line and connection to major routes like the Kyushu Expressway and Higashikyushu Expressway.

The region transformed from a coal mining center during the Meiji period to face population changes after mine closures, leading to new economic adaptations.
