Kotake Town is in northern Chikuho between Nogata City and Iizuka City, and the Onga River flows north–south through its center. The town once prospered from coal mining. The Soldiers' and Ordinary People's War Museum shows daily life in the war years. After the mines closed, the town built industrial parks and is working to attract companies.
