Geographically it faces the sea to the east and south, and is now mostly residential. In this article Chofu means the area under the jurisdiction of the Chofu Branch Office of Shimonoseki City Hall. "Chofu" is a place name that continues to the present and was also called Fuchu, Fumachi and so on. As explained later in the ancient section, Chofu was the provincial capital of Nagato Province.
