Kasuya, Municipal town in Kasuya district, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan

The town extends across 14.13 square kilometers of the Fukuoka Plain, with the Tatara River flowing east-west through its northern section.

The formation of present-day Kasuya occurred in 1957 through the consolidation of Okawa and Nakabaru villages, which were established in 1889.

The Ae Kanga archaeological site within Kasuya holds National Historic Site status, preserving evidence of regional settlement patterns.

The town maintains four elementary schools and two junior high schools, connected by both the Kashii Line and Sasaguri Line railway services.

Following the closure of coal mining operations in the 1960s, Kasuya transformed into a residential area with inhabitants working in Fukuoka.
