Kurate district, Administrative district in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan
The Kurate district spans across 189.75 square kilometers of land, containing the towns of Kotake and Kurate within its boundaries in Fukuoka Prefecture.
The district received its official designation as an administrative unit on November 1, 1878, during the systematic reorganization of Japanese territories in the Meiji period.
The Furutsuki Cave Tombs, dating from the 6th and 7th centuries, stand as a National Historic Site within the district, preserving ancient burial practices.
The district maintains strong transportation connections through the JR Kyushu Chikuho Main Line and access to the Kyushu Expressway for regional travel.
