Keisen Town is at Chikuho's southern end, southwest of Iizuka City. Ozuka Kofun, a Special Historic Site, is a decorated burial mound with wall paintings in red, black, and other colors. Many decorated kofun have been found here, and in the Heian period the area was an estate of Anraku-ji Temple (today's Dazaifu Tenmangu). The Honami River flows here.
