Higashi-ku

Higashi-ku extends across the eastern section of Fukuoka city, containing residential neighborhoods, public facilities, and community spaces for its population.

The establishment of Higashi-ku occurred on April 1, 1972, during a period of administrative restructuring that shaped the modern organization of Fukuoka city.

The ward maintains numerous community centers where residents participate in traditional Japanese activities while engaging with contemporary urban lifestyle programs.

The ward office provides essential administrative services to residents, including registration procedures, welfare assistance, and municipal documentation processing.

Located within Japan's designated city system, Higashi-ku functions as an independent administrative unit with its own governance structure and public service delivery system.
