Part of the Fukuoka metropolitan area, Hisayama Town in Kasuya County is surrounded by mountains. The town's abundant natural beauty is evident throughout the seasons, from cherry blossoms in spring, fireflies in summer, and autumn leaves in fall. The Ino River and Mt. Tomi are particularly popular leisure spots for firefly viewing, river activities, and mountain climbing. Traditional festivals are still carried on today, with various events held throughout the year, including the Kamikuhara Hakusan Shrine Lion Dance, which is held to pray for the safety of the home and ward off evil spirits, and the Nakakuhara Gion Festival, a traditional event praying for good health and safety. While Hisayama Town is steeped in nature and tradition, it also boasts convenient living, including the large shopping mall, Torius.
