Sashima district, Administrative district in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan.
Sashima district is an administrative area in Ibaraki Prefecture that includes two main towns named Goka and Sakai. The area consists of flat agricultural land that stretches across the region.
The area was officially created in 1878 and shared boundaries with the former Shimōsa Province. In the 2000s it underwent significant administrative reshaping when several smaller towns merged together.
The district is known for growing high-quality melons, pears, and various rice varieties on fertile plains. Agriculture shapes the landscape and the rhythm of daily life across the region.
The area sits near the Tokyo metropolitan region and has access to major transportation networks. These connections make traveling to larger surrounding cities straightforward.
The area witnessed major structural changes when Sashima town and several neighboring communities redrew their boundaries dramatically. This merger created the new city of Bandō and reshaped the region's geography significantly.
