Kanagawa 20th district is a single-member constituency of the House of Representatives, the lower house of the National Diet of Japan. The district was created as part of the 2022 reapportionments that added two districts to Kanagawa Prefecture because of relative increases in population in the prefecture.[2] Sayuri Otsuka became the first representative as a result of the 2024 general election; defeating Akira Amari, former LDP Secretary-General.
