Kasuga City is a densely populated commuter town bordering Fukuoka City to the southeast. It is thought to have been the center of Na (Nakoku), a Yayoi-period state, and the Sugu-Okamoto Site is now Nakoku-no-oka Historical Park. Kofun (ancient burial mounds) and shrines are scattered across the city, which also hosts many Self-Defense Forces facilities.
