Gamo District, Administrative district in Shiga Prefecture, Japan
Gamō district contains two municipalities, Hino and Ryūō, covering 162 square kilometers of land in eastern Shiga Prefecture with a population of 35,629 residents.
The district emerged during Japan's administrative restructuring on May 16, 1879, marking a shift toward modern local governance systems in the Meiji period.
Each town within the district maintains seasonal festivals and markets throughout the year, representing local traditions and agricultural practices of Shiga Prefecture.
The district connects to major transportation networks across Shiga Prefecture, providing regular bus and train services between its towns and neighboring municipalities.
Several municipalities formerly within Gamō district merged into larger cities, including the town of Gamō which joined Higashiōmi in 2006.
