Sagami Province

Map of Japanese provinces with Sagami province highlighted

Sagami Province (相模国, Sagami no kuni) was a province of Japan located in what is today the central and western Kanagawa Prefecture.[1] Sagami Province bordered the provinces of Izu, Musashi, and Suruga. It had access to the Pacific Ocean through Sagami Bay. However, most of the present-day cities of Yokohama and Kawasaki, now part of Kanagawa Prefecture, were not in Sagami, but rather, in Musashi Province. Its abbreviated form name was Sōshū (相州).
