Kitaazumi district, Administrative district in Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
Kitaazumi district spans across 544.5 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, containing one town and three villages with a population of 29,918 residents.
The district formed in January 1879 when the government divided the original Azumi District into two separate administrative regions: Minamiazumi and Kitaazumi.
The four municipalities of Hakuba, Ikeda, Matsukawa, and Otari maintain traditional agricultural practices while adapting to modern winter sports tourism.
The district provides year-round recreational opportunities with ski facilities in winter and mountain hiking trails during summer months across its varied terrain.
The population density of 54.9 persons per square kilometer reflects the district's commitment to preserving natural spaces within its administrative boundaries.
