Onojo, Urban center in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan
Ōnojō is a city in Fukuoka Prefecture located southeast of Fukuoka City, characterized by mountainous terrain in its northern and southern sections. The city lies in a distinctive valley formation where the central area narrows dramatically between the surrounding ridges.
The area began in 1889 as a small village and became a town in 1951, later gaining city status in 1972. This progression reflects the region's growth during the modern period.
The Ōnojō Cocoro-no-furusato-kan City Museum displays collections of natural history and archaeological artifacts from the region. Visitors can learn about the area's early inhabitants and how they lived here.
The city lies in a valley between mountains, so visitors should prepare for hilly terrain and wear good walking shoes. Its proximity to Fukuoka City makes it relatively easy to reach, and a car or local transportation is practical for exploring.
The city's layout resembles a gourd shape, with the central area narrowing to just one kilometer in width between mountain ranges. This unusual geographic form makes Ōnojō instantly recognizable on maps.
