Sue Town

Fukuoka Prefecture · Town

Official website Fukuoka Prefecture page

Sue Town lies east of Fukuoka City; its name is said to come from Sue ware pottery made in the Kofun period. In the Edo period the Fukuoka Domain had its official kiln here, and from the Meiji to Showa eras it was a coal-mining village. Mt. Wakasugi is in the northeast, and commuter housing for Fukuoka City is increasing.
