Chikushino City lies between Fukuoka City and Kurume City and has Futsukaichi Onsen (hot spring), called the "inner retreat of Hakata." The city sits on the divide between the river systems of Hakata Bay and the Ariake Sea, and Mt. Homan rises to the northeast. Chikushi Shrine and Goroyama Kofun (an ancient burial mound) also remain.
