Hiraodai karst plateau in Kokura Minami ward
The city of Kokura was merged into Kitakyushu city when the latter was created out of the merger of five cities in 1963. At this time Kokura was divided into North and South wards. Kokura Minami ward is the southern part of what used to be Kokura city.
Kokura Minami ward is mainly rural and undeveloped, and includes the Hiraodai karst plateau and Sugao no taki (waterfall). However, it also includes the present and future Kitakyushu airports, and Shimosone shopping mall.
