Tobata-ku, Administrative ward in Kitakyushu, Japan
Tobata-ku extends over 16.66 square kilometers of land, making it the smallest ward within the city of Kitakyushu in Fukuoka Prefecture.
The area transformed from Tobata town in 1899 to Tobata city in 1924, before its integration into Kitakyushu as an administrative ward in 1963.
The Tobata Gion festival stands as a national intangible cultural asset, representing local traditions through annual celebrations in the ward.
Two stations on the JR Kyushu Kagoshima Main Line, Tobata and Kyushu Koudaimae, connect residents to the broader transportation network.
The Waka-To Ohashi, completed in 1963, marks its place in engineering history as the first suspension bridge constructed in Asia.
