Asakura district, Administrative district in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan.
Description
Asakura district spans south central areas of Fukuoka Prefecture and encompasses several municipalities. The landscape is marked by rice fields, river valleys, and small mountain areas that run through the settlements.
History
The district took its current form in 1896 as an administrative division in Fukuoka. Over the following decades, several municipal mergers created new boundaries and structures.
Culture
Traditional water wheels dot the farmland and show irrigation methods passed down through generations. Walking through rural areas, you still see these old structures actively used by farmers today.
Practical
The region is connected by local buses and smaller roads that provide access to major cities in the prefecture. Visitors should expect longer travel times between individual areas since settlements are spread across the countryside.
Did you know?
The Akizuki Historical District preserves buildings from a time when a clan ruled the area across many generations. Old temples and street layouts tell of this long feudal period.
