Kitakatsuragi district, Administrative district in Nara Prefecture, Japan
Kitakatsuragi district encompasses four distinct towns: Kanmaki, Oji, Koryo, and Kawai, spanning across 71.48 square kilometers of varied terrain.
The district emerged through the consolidation of Katsuge and Hirose districts on April 1, 1897, marking a significant administrative reorganization in Nara Prefecture.
Each town within the district maintains local festivals that preserve traditional Japanese customs, connecting residents to their regional heritage throughout the year.
The district maintains a population density of 1,886 persons per square kilometer, offering residents a balance between community connectivity and personal space.
The district experienced a notable transformation in 2004 when the towns of Shinjo and Taima merged to form the separate city of Katsuragi.
