Kitakanbara district, Administrative district in Niigata Prefecture, Japan

The Kitakanbara district spans 37.58 square kilometers along the Sea of Japan coast, containing the town of Seiro with 14,025 residents.

Established on April 9, 1879, Kitakanbara district underwent multiple reorganizations, including the transformation of Shibata into a city in 1947.
