Koza District, Administrative district in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan

Koza District encompasses 13.42 square kilometers of central Kanagawa Prefecture and contains the municipality of Samukawa within its boundaries.

The district emerged from the ancient Sagami Province in 1878, featuring the provincial capital and its kokubunji temple during the Nara period.

The district preserves traditional Japanese administrative structures, maintaining local governance patterns that date back to the Meiji period reforms.

The district connects to major transportation networks in Kanagawa Prefecture, providing access to neighboring cities like Chigasaki, Fujisawa, and Yamato.

From its original 22 villages and one town in 1889, Koza District has evolved to maintain only Samukawa as its sole remaining municipality.
