Isesaki (伊勢崎市 Isesaki-shi?) is a city located in southern Gunma Prefecture in the northern Kantō region of Japan. As of February 2015, the city had an estimated population of 208,705 and a population density of 1500 persons per km². Its total area was 139.44 km².
Isesaki is located in the Kantō plains of southern Gunma Prefecture, bordered by Saitama Prefecture to the south. The center of the city is 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from central Maebashi, and 95 kilometres (59 mi) from central Tokyo.
Isesaki developed during the Sengoku period as a castle town surrounding Akaishi Castle, a stronghold in southern Kōzuke Province controlled by the Yura clan. During the Edo period, it was the center of Isesaki Domain, a feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate controlled by the Sakai clan. The area also contained two post towns on the Nikkō Reiheishi Kaidō, a subroute to Nikkō Kaidō which connected the Nakasendō directly with Nikkō, bypassing Edo.
