The area of Yahatahigashi Ward is a historic part of Kitakyushu, once central to Japan's modern steel industry. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Space World theme park, which operated from 1990 to 2017, famously featured a roller coaster that passed through the hull of a real H-II rocket. The closest major tourist attraction is the Kawachi Fujien (Kawachi Wisteria Garden), renowned for its stunning, tunnel-like displays of wisteria flowers that bloom spectacularly each spring, drawing visitors from across the country.
