Kanagawa 20th district is a single-member constituency of the House of Representatives, the lower house of the National Diet of Japan. It was established in 2022 due to redistricting - relative increases in population in Kanagawa Prefecture (as well as the rest of the Greater Tokyo Area) meant that Kanagawa gained two districts.[2]
The district will elect its first representative in the next Japanese general election, which must be held on or before October 31, 2025.
The district includes the Minami ward of Sagamihara city, as well as the city of Zama.
