Akasaka, Metropolitan neighborhood in Minato, Japan

Akasaka merges residential buildings with corporate headquarters, luxury hotels, and upscale restaurants near the former site of Edo Castle in Tokyo.

The district functioned as an independent ward of Tokyo City from 1878 to 1947 before becoming part of the Minato administrative region.

The State Guest House Akasaka Palace, built in 1909, displays European architectural influence with its Versailles-inspired design and Japanese-style annex.

The area connects to central Tokyo through multiple subway stations, including Akasaka Station on the Chiyoda Line and Akasaka-mitsuke on the Ginza Line.

The Toyokawa Inari Tokyo Betsuin Temple features numerous stone fox statues throughout its grounds, combining Shinto and Buddhist religious elements.
