The so-called four districts of Kawanakajima are: Hajina, Sarashina, Minuchi, and Takai. As recorded in the *Genpei Seisuiki* and the *Azuma Kagami* (Eastern Mirror), these are the inner districts of Shinano Province, and even today local speech refers to them as "the inner districts" (*oku no kōri*).
