Kikuchi district, Administrative district in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan
The Kikuchi district spans 136 square kilometers across central Kumamoto Prefecture, containing the municipalities of Ōzu and Kikuyō with a population of 58,300 residents.
The district underwent significant changes in 2005 when Shichijō, Shisui, and Kyokushi merged into Kikuchi city, followed by Kōshi and Nishigōshi forming Kōshi city in 2006.
The Azalea Festival in Ōzu and agricultural traditions of Kikuyō, known for carrot production, maintain the district's local identity within Kumamoto Prefecture.
The district connects to major transport routes through the Kyushu Expressway, National Routes 57 and 443, and the JR Kyushu Hōhi Main Line.
TSMC's semiconductor plant construction in Kikuyō has transformed the district's economic landscape, influencing land prices and agricultural practices in neighboring municipalities.
