Tōhaku district, Administrative district in Tottori Prefecture, Japan

The Tōhaku district extends across a varied landscape, containing four municipalities: Misasa, Yurihama, Kotoura, and Hokuei within Tottori Prefecture.

The district formation occurred on April 1, 1896, establishing an administrative structure that would govern the local towns and villages in western Japan.

Within the district, the Sanbutsu-ji temple stands as a National Treasure, representing traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture and religious practices.

The district connects to major transportation routes through nearby Kurayoshi Station, serving as a gateway for residents and visitors to access regional destinations.

Misasa town within the district features mineral-rich hot springs containing radium, leading to the creation of the annual Marie Curie festival.
