Kanda, Industrial town in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan

The town extends over 48.98 square kilometers along the Gulf of Suo, featuring the Hiraodai karst plateau to the west and Miyako Plain to the south.

The settlement transformed from a village to a town in 1924, evolving from its origins in ancient Buzen Province and its role within the Kokura Domain.

The Kanda Float Festival in September showcases 14 traditional floats that received recognition as an Intangible Folk Cultural Asset of Fukuoka Prefecture.

The town connects to major transport routes through Kitakyushu Airport, the Nippō Main Line railway, and the Higashikyushu Expressway for regional access.

Manufacturing facilities for both Nissan and Toyota operate in Kanda, making it a substantial contributor to Japan's automotive industry in the Kitakyushu metropolitan area.
