八幡市 (福岡県)
1. Yahata, FukuokaYahata, Fukuoka was a city in Japan until it was absorbed into the newly created city of Kitakyushu in 1963. Its former area is as of 2007 part of two distinct wards: Yahata Higashi-ku and Yahata Nishi-ku. The city was fire-bombed in World War II in early August 1945, and the resulting smoke obscured the nearby town of Kokura; causing the planes en route to drop the atomic weapon "Fat Man" to head to their secondary target, Nagasaki.
