Ward area of Tokyo, Administrative region in Tokyo, Japan
The ward area encompasses 23 special districts within Tokyo, covering 627 square kilometers with a population density of 15,735 residents per square kilometer.
The region underwent significant administrative reorganization in 1943, transforming from Tokyo City into the current ward system with 23 distinct administrative districts.
Each district maintains specific characteristics, from Ginza's luxury shopping to Asakusa's temples and Akihabara's electronics markets, representing different aspects of Japanese society.
The area contains an extensive public transportation network of trains, subways, and buses, connecting residential zones with commercial districts and entertainment centers.
The ward system operates under special legislative status, granting each district autonomous powers similar to individual cities while remaining part of Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
