Yazu district, Administrative district in Tottori Prefecture, Japan

The Yazu district spans across 875 square kilometers of land in eastern Tottori Prefecture, containing three main municipalities: Chizu, Wakasa, and Yazu.

Established on April 1, 1896, the Yazu district replaced three former administrative regions: Yagami, Hattō, and Chizu districts in Tottori Prefecture.

The district includes the peak of Ōginosen within Hyōnosen-Ushiroyama-Nagisan Quasi-National Park, where traditional seasonal activities take place throughout the year.

The area maintains a population of approximately 26,000 residents across its three municipalities, with direct access through the JR West Inbi Line.

The Hattō River, the principal tributary of the Sendai River, flows through the district, supporting agricultural activities and shaping the regional landscape.
