Onojo, Urban center in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan

Located southeast of Fukuoka City, Ōnojō stretches across 26.89 square kilometers with mountainous terrain in its northern and southern sections.

Established in 1889 as Ōno village, the area transformed into a town in 1951 before receiving city status on April 1, 1972.

The Ōnojō Cocoro-no-furusato-kan City Museum exhibits collections of natural history and archaeological artifacts representing the regional heritage.

The city maintains a population of 102,818 residents within 46,689 households and operates under a mayor-council government system with 20 council members.

The city layout resembles a gourd shape, with the central area measuring only one kilometer in width between mountain ranges.
