Nogata, Industrial city in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan

Nōgata spans across 61.76 square kilometers at the meeting point of Onga River and Hikosan River in northern Fukuoka Prefecture.

The region recorded Japan's first documented meteorite fall in 861 and later developed as a castle town in 1626 under the Kuroda clan's control.

The Nōgata Coal Memorial Museum presents the industrial legacy through displays of steam locomotives, mining equipment, and historical artifacts.

Located 30 kilometers southwest of Kitakyūshū and 50 kilometers northeast of Fukuoka City, Nōgata connects to major urban centers via the JR Kyushu Chikuhō Line.

The Ongagawa Riverside Park hosts an annual Tulip Festival that draws 200,000 visitors to view the spring flower displays.
