Ashigarakami district, Administrative district in western Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan

The district spans over 303 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, containing five municipalities: Kaisei, Matsuda, Nakai, Oi, and Yamakita.

In 1878, after the Meiji Restoration, the region transitioned from Ashigara Prefecture to become an official district of Kanagawa Prefecture.

The district incorporates sections of the Tanzawa-Oyama Quasi-National Park, maintaining traditional connections between mountain communities and agricultural practices.

The district maintains a population density of 224 persons per square kilometer, with transportation links connecting its municipalities to neighboring regions.

Following Mount Fuji eruptions during the Edo period, portions of the district fell under direct control of the Tokugawa shogunate as tenryo territory.
