Kokuraminami-ku

Kokuraminami-ku extends over 170 square kilometers and contains both residential neighborhoods and natural landscapes including hills and recreational spaces near Mount Adachi.

The ward originated from the division of Kokura City during the 1963 merger of five municipalities that formed modern Kitakyushu city.

Local residents participate in seasonal festivals and community gatherings that maintain connections to traditional Japanese customs throughout the neighborhoods.

The ward houses the New Kitakyushu Airport and multiple transportation links, connecting residents to other sections of the metropolitan area.

The Hiraodai karst plateau within the ward features white limestone formations and underground cave systems that create distinct geological patterns.
