Shimomashiki district, Administrative district in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan
Shimomashiki district encompasses 144 square kilometers of land within Kumamoto Prefecture, maintaining a population density of 77 persons per square kilometer.
The district was formally established on January 20, 1879, as part of Japan's administrative reorganization during the Meiji period modernization efforts.
The district's name, written as 下益城郡 in Japanese characters, reflects the traditional naming conventions used in Japanese administrative divisions.
Following the 2010 municipal merger, Shimomashiki district now consists solely of Misato town, which formed through the combination of Chuo and Tomochi.
Multiple territorial reorganizations since 2004 have transformed Shimomashiki from a multi-town district into a single-municipality administrative region with 11,164 residents.
