Yahatahigashi-ku, Administrative ward in Kitakyushu, Japan.
Yahatahigashi-ku spans 36.36 square kilometers of land in northern Fukuoka Prefecture, making it the second smallest ward of Kitakyushu city.
The ward emerged in 1963 when the city of Kitakyushu formed through the merger of five cities, with the original Yahata area splitting into eastern and western sections.
The district maintains strong connections to Japan's industrial development through its steel manufacturing heritage and the presence of the Kawachi Dam.
The ward accommodates numerous facilities for its aging population, including the Ajisai no Yu hot spring complex with indoor and outdoor bathing options.
The Kawachi Dam, constructed in the 1920s for the Yahata steelworks, held the distinction of being Asia's largest dam during its completion period.
