Tagawa district

Tagawa is an administrative district in Fukuoka Prefecture that encompasses multiple municipalities functioning as a regional administrative unit. The area includes both urban and rural communities that together form a cohesive administrative region.

The region was restructured during Japan's late 19th-century reforms when the nation modernized its administrative system. This transformation replaced the earlier feudal system with a unified national administrative structure.

The district maintains strong connections to traditional Japanese governance systems while operating within the contemporary Local Autonomy Law framework established in 1947.

The district comprises seven separate municipalities, each accessible through their own local administrative centers. Visitors find different access options to various municipal centers depending on their interest in specific areas.

The district comprises seven individual municipalities that preserve their own identities and local characteristics despite their administrative grouping. Each community maintains its own distinctive features and local traditions that set it apart from neighboring areas.
