Naka district

Naka is an administrative district in Kanagawa Prefecture composed of two towns, Oiso and Ninomiya, located in the central part of the prefecture. The area blends residential neighborhoods with agricultural land and coastal features.

The district formed in 1896 through the merger of earlier administrative areas. Over time, some of its former municipalities developed into independent cities with their own local governance.

The district connects two distinct towns, each with its own local traditions and community character, shaping how residents experience everyday life across this region.

The district is best explored on foot or using local transportation that connects the two towns regularly. When planning a visit, it helps to consider each town's attractions separately, as they offer different experiences and layouts.

The district sits along a coastal area that provides residents and visitors with direct access to the seaside. This geography uniquely blends urban and rural landscapes with maritime influences that shape local life.
