Toho

Tōhō spans 51.97 square kilometers in southeastern Fukuoka Prefecture, comprising the Hoshuyama and Koishiwara districts with a population of 1,842 residents.

The village formed through the merger of Koishiwara and Hōshuyama villages on March 28, 2005, following centuries of administration under the Fukuoka Domain.

Koishiwara pottery production, established in the 17th century when Lord Kuroda Mitsuyuki invited craftsmen from Imari, remains central to the village identity.

Bus Rapid Transit services connect Tōhō to neighboring cities after replacing the JR Kyushu Hitahikosan Line, which sustained damage in July 2017.

The Gyoja cedar tree, planted over 600 years ago, reaches 52 meters in height and maintains a trunk circumference of 8.3 meters.
