Gyōda, city, Saitama ken (prefecture), Honshu, Japan. It lies on the alluvial plain between the Tone and the Ara rivers, just east-southeast of Kumagaya.
The site was settled in ancient times. Oshi Castle was constructed there in 1490. During the Edo (Tokugawa) period (1603–1867), the manufacture of tabi (socks) was introduced into Gyōda, and that industry grew steadily until the end of World War II, when it was gradually replaced by clothing manufacture. Electric appliances and rubber goods are also produced, and rice paddies surround the city. Pop. (2005) 88,815; (2010) 85,786.
