Sashima district, Administrative district in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan.
Sashima district spans 172.25 square kilometers of land, containing two principal towns named Goka and Sakai within its boundaries.
The district was formally established on December 2, 1878, during the period when Ibaraki Prefecture absorbed territories from the former Shimōsa Province.
The district maintains traditional agricultural practices, producing regional specialties such as melons, pears, and multiple varieties of rice throughout its fertile plains.
Located within the Greater Tokyo Area, Sashima district provides access to major transportation networks connecting to cities like Mito and Tsukuba.
The district underwent significant administrative changes in 2005 when several towns merged, including Sashima town joining Iwai city to form Bandō city.
