Sagami Province

Sagami Province (相模国, Sagami no kuni ?) was a province of Japan located in what is today the central and western Kanagawa prefecture. Sagami bordered on Izu, Musashi, Suruga provinces; and 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?).
