Kayabe district, Administrative district in Oshima Subprefecture, Japan

Kayabe district spans across 478 square kilometers of land in southern Hokkaido, containing the towns of Shikabe and Mori along Uchiura Bay.

The district establishment occurred on July 23, 1879, followed by significant changes when Minamikayabe merged into Hakodate city in December 2004.

Residents of Kayabe district maintain traditional fishing practices, with local communities organizing seasonal celebrations centered around marine harvests.

The district administration provides municipal services to approximately 24,000 residents, with offices located in both Shikabe and Mori towns.

The merger of Sawara town into Mori in 2005 reshaped the district's geography, creating a consolidated administrative structure with enhanced service delivery.
