Miyawaka, City center in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan

Located between Kitakyushu City and Fukuoka City, Miyawaka spans across 139.99 square kilometers of both urban developments and natural landscapes.

The territory surrounding Munakata Shrine, referenced in the Nihon Shoki texts, transformed from ancient Chikuzen Province into two distinct towns before merging in 2006.

The Nishikura no Oka Sports Park hosts a firefly festival in early June, where visitors gather to observe the natural illumination throughout the area.

The city maintains five elementary schools, two junior high schools, and one public high school, offering comprehensive education for local residents.

Toyota Motor Kyushu established operations in Miyawaka during February 1991, marking a shift from the region's former coal mining industry.
