Oto

Ōtō spans across 151 square kilometers in northeastern Fukuoka Prefecture, with the Hikoyama River flowing from north to south through its center.

The village of Ōtō became an official municipality on May 1, 1889, and later achieved town status on January 1, 1960, marking its administrative evolution.

The town maintains traditional agricultural practices, including the cultivation of specialized small mangoes that have become a regional agricultural product.

Without passenger railway service since 1985, residents and visitors rely on local roads and bus connections from Tagawa-Ita Station in neighboring areas.

The town operates under a mayor-council government system with eleven council members and contributes two representatives to the Fukuoka Prefectural Assembly.
