Shioya district, Administrative district in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan
Shioya district spans 246.92 square kilometers across central Tochigi Prefecture, containing two main towns: Shioya and Takanezawa, with a population of 39,490 residents.
The district was formally established on November 8, 1878, and underwent significant changes when Kitsuregawa and Ujiie merged to form Sakura city in March 2005.
The district derives its name from an influential family that controlled substantial portions of the land throughout multiple generations in this region of Japan.
The district maintains connectivity through Route 461 and operates under a local governance structure that manages community services for both Shioya and Takanezawa towns.
Following the merger of Fujihara town and Kuriyama village into Nikko city in 2006, this district contributed to making Tochigi Prefecture free of village-level administrations.
