About Sasaoka

What are the main landmarks in Sasaoka?

Nothing is listed for Sasaoka. Terukuni, Baikōen and Ropponmatsu are the neighbouring names on the roll, and any walk that wants a catalogued sight has to start from one of them rather than from the middle of 笹丘. The field is simply blank.

The sources behind the entry attach no monument to it.

What is the history of Sasaoka?

Fukuoka's registers give Sasaoka no start date. What the file holds is the name and its written form 笹丘 attached to a district of Fukuoka that shows no charter, no battle and no dated grant anywhere in its paperwork. Baikōen and Terukuni are in the same position.

Anything older than the address roll belongs to the story of Fukuoka and of Fukuoka Prefecture, not to this one block.

Where is Sasaoka?

Terukuni and Baikōen stand within a kilometre of Sasaoka, all three inside Fukuoka, in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan.
