{{Nihongo|'''Kōgen Prefecture'''|江原道|Kōgen-dō}} was one of the administrative divisions of [[Korea]] during [[Korea under Japanese rule|Japanese rule]], with its capital at [[Chuncheon|Shunsen]]. The prefecture consisted of modern-day [[Kangwon Province (North Korea)|Kangwon]]/[[Gangwon Province (South Korea)|Gangwon]], divided between [[North Korea]] and [[South Korea]] due to the [[division of Korea]]. While each Korea has its own Kangwon/Gangwon Province, the North Korean portion of Gyeonggi and the South Korean portion of Hwanghae have been absorbed into other provinces. [[Chuncheon|Shunsen]] is in present-day South Korea.
