Kōjo, Residential district in Minami-ku, Japan.

The district extends between the Kamo River and Katsura River, forming a developed urban area with numerous residential buildings and industrial facilities.

The establishment of this district occurred in 1955 when Minami-ku separated from Shimogyo-ku, marking a new chapter in Kyoto's administrative divisions.

The neighborhood contains a substantial Korean national community, known as Zainichi, contributing to the multicultural character of southern Kyoto.

The district provides access to government-subsidized housing projects and connects to central Kyoto through multiple transportation routes and railway stations.

Major corporations, including Nintendo and Nidec, maintain their headquarters in this district, creating an industrial center in southern Kyoto.
