Osato District, Administrative district in Saitama Prefecture, Japan
Osato District occupies 207 square kilometers of eastern Saitama Prefecture, containing the town of Yorii and several merged municipalities within its boundaries.
The district underwent significant restructuring in 1896 when it replaced three former districts: Hara, Hanzawa, and Obusuma, following the Meiji period reforms.
The district maintains traditional agricultural practices across its lowland areas, where local farmers contribute to regional food production through seasonal cultivation methods.
Regular train connections and major roadways link the district to central Saitama Prefecture and Tokyo, providing transportation options for residents and visitors.
Several towns within Osato District merged with neighboring cities between 2005 and 2007, including Osato and Menuma joining Kumagaya, reshaping local administration.
