Shimoina district, Administrative district in southern Nagano Prefecture, Japan
Shimoina District extends across 1,270 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, containing thirteen municipalities including Matsukawa, Takamori, and Anan towns.
The district emerged on January 4, 1879, during the Meiji period when authorities divided the original Ina District into Kamiina and Shimoina sections.
Each municipality in Shimoina District maintains traditional agricultural practices, particularly focusing on rice cultivation and wasabi farming in the mountain valleys.
The district transportation network connects thirteen towns through regional railways and national highways, facilitating movement across southern Nagano Prefecture.
