Kaisei, Town in Ashigarakami district, Kanagawa prefecture, Japan
Kaisei spans 6.56 square kilometers along the eastern bank of the Sakawa River, bordered by Matsuda, Minamiashigara, Odawara, Ōi, and Yamakita municipalities.
The area belonged to Odawara Domain in Sagami Province during the Edo period, and the modern town formed through the merger of Sakata and Yoshidajima villages in 1955.
The name Kaisei derives from the Kaisei School established in 1882, referencing the Chinese phrase '開物成務' from the Book of Changes.
The town connects to major urban centers through the Odakyū Odawara Line and maintains three prefectural routes: 78, 712, and 720 for road transportation.
With only 6.56 square kilometers of total area, Kaisei holds the distinction of being the smallest municipality in Kanagawa Prefecture.
