Wakayama 1st district (和歌山県第1区, Wakayama-ken dai-ikku) is an electoral district in the Japanese House of Representatives.

Representative Shuhei Kishimoto resigned on 1 September 2022 to successfully run for office as governor of Wakayama Prefecture.[2] Yumi Hayashi, member of the Nippon Ishin no Kai, won the seat in a special election in April 2023.[3] She narrowly lost the seat in the 2024 election to former Wakayama City council member Daichi Yamamoto by only 124 votes.[4] Hayashi carried Wakayama City with more than 2000 votes, but Yamamoto managed to make up the difference with support in the more rural area of Kinokawa and Iwade that had recently been added to the district.

Area

The first constituency of Wakayama Prefecture covers the cities of Wakayama, Kinokawa and Iwade.[5] Before reapportionment in 2022, it consisted only of Wakayama city.
