Hata District

Hata District is an administrative area in Kōchi Prefecture that includes the towns of Kuroshio, Ōtsuki, and Mihara. The landscape features coastal regions, river valleys, and rural communities spread across the territory.

The district was established in 1879 as one of Kōchi's early local government divisions. Its creation coincided with administrative reforms that reshaped Tosa Province.

The district maintains traditional agricultural practices in Mihara town, while local festivals throughout the year showcase regional customs and community traditions.

The area is connected by highways and local transportation routes that link the towns together and to neighboring regions. Plan extra travel time when moving between the different towns.

The Kuroshio Current influences the district's climate patterns, creating specific conditions that affect local fishing activities and agricultural production.
