*''Japanese'': 福岡藩 ''(Fukuoka han)''
*''Other Names'': 黒田藩 ''(Kuroda han)''
*''Territory: portions of [[Chikuzen province]]''
*''Castle: [[Fukuoka castle]]''
*''[[Kokudaka]]: 520,000''
*''Lords: [[Kuroda clan]]''
Fukuoka han was an [[Edo period]] [[han|domain]] ruled by the [[Kuroda clan]] from [[Fukuoka castle]]. With a ''[[kokudaka]]'' of 520,000 ''[[koku]]'', it was among the wealthiest domains in the realm. The Kuroda were among only about ten or so ''daimyô'' clans to claim ''[[kunimochi|honkunimochi]]'' status, a level of prestige equivalent to those who controlled an entire [[provinces|province]].
The Kuroda first built [[Fukuoka castle]] after [[Kuroda Nagamasa]] was granted the domain by [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] following the [[battle of Sekigahara]]. This marked the beginning of the [[jokamachi|castle-town]] of [[Fukuoka]], which then grew up around the castle, eventually merging with nearby [[Hakata]] to become one of the largest cities and most major ports on [[Kyushu]].
Branches of the Kuroda clan controlled nearby [[Akizuki han]] and, for a brief time from [[1688]] to [[1721]], [[Torenji han|Tôrenji han]].
Beginning in [[1641]], Fukuoka was assigned, along with [[Saga han]] and a few other domains, to contribute to the defenses of [[Nagasaki]] harbor. As a result of this obligation of military service, Fukuoka's ''[[sankin kotai|sankin kôtai]]'' obligations were lessened.
