Tagawa district, Administrative district in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan

Tagawa County spans across 309 square kilometers of land in Fukuoka Prefecture, containing multiple towns including Aka, Fukuchi, and Kawara.

The district houses 71,755 residents as of 2020, with a population density of 232 persons per square kilometer across its municipalities.

Seven distinct towns and villages form this district: Aka, Fukuchi, Itoda, Kawara, Kawasaki, Ōtō, and Soeda, each maintaining individual governance.
