Yokoshibahikari, Administrative town in Sanbu District, Japan.
Yokoshibahikari occupies 66.91 square kilometers in northeastern Chiba Prefecture, maintaining a population density of 350 residents per square kilometer across 9,771 households.
The municipal restructuring of March 27, 2006 combined the towns of Yokoshiba and Hikari, leading to the formation of this new administrative entity.
The town contains multiple ancient burial structures, including the Shibayama Kofun cluster and Ogawadai Kofun group, which received national historic site designation.
Residents access regional transportation through the JR East Sobu Main Line at Yokoshiba Station, while the Ken-O Expressway provides direct road connections.
The northern section became the Yokoshiba Industrial Park in 1991, positioned near Narita International Airport for commercial development.
