Asakura district, Administrative district in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan.

The Asakura district extends over 198 square kilometers in south central Fukuoka Prefecture, containing the municipalities of Chikuzen and Tōhō.

The district establishment in 1896 marked a significant administrative reorganization, leading to multiple municipal mergers throughout the 20th century.

Traditional water wheels characterize the district's agricultural landscape, representing centuries-old irrigation methods still maintained by local communities.

The district maintains a population density of 255 persons per square kilometer, with efficient transportation links to major cities in Fukuoka Prefecture.

The Akizuki Historical District preserves structures from the period when the Harada clan governed the region for 17 consecutive generations.
