Kanashima (金島村, Kanashima-mura) was a village located in Gunma, Japan during the years 1889–1954.

History

Kanashima Village was formed in 1889 as a result of the merging of five villages: Akutsu Village, Kanai Village, Kawashima Village, Nanboku Village, and Ubashima Village.

On April 1, 1954, Kanashima Village merged with Furumaki Village, Toyoaki Village and Shibukawa Town to become Shibukawa City.

Today

The area formerly held as Kanashima Village is now a part of Shibukawa City, and the name of the former village is retained in the names of an elementary school, a junior high school, and a train station.
