Kamagaya, Urban residential city in Chiba Prefecture, Japan

Kamagaya stretches across northwestern Chiba Prefecture, featuring residential districts, commercial zones, and numerous parks throughout its 21 square kilometers.

The area contained multiple Jomon period shell middens and remained under Soma clan control during the Kamakura period before becoming tenryo territory.

The name Kamagaya derives from agricultural origins, meaning 'place of the sickle', reflecting the traditional farming practices of its early inhabitants.

Three railway companies serve Kamagaya with multiple stations, connecting residents to Tokyo metropolitan area through Tobu, Shin-Keisei, and Keisei lines.

Kamagaya General Hospital maintains extensive medical archives and operates specialized departments serving the health needs of 109,941 residents.
