Kodama district

The Kodama district encompasses three towns - Kamikawa, Kamisato, and Misato - covering an area of 163 square kilometers in northern Saitama Prefecture.

Established on March 17, 1879, during the Meiji Restoration period, the district emerged as part of Japan's modernization of its administrative structure.

Local communities maintain traditional rice farming practices across the district's fertile lands, producing high-quality grains throughout seasonal cycles.

The district connects to major urban centers through a network of roads and railway lines, enabling residents to access employment opportunities in surrounding cities.

When the town of Kodama merged with Honjō city in 2006, the district retained its name despite no longer containing its namesake municipality.
