The Kogo district extends along the western bank of the Ota River drainage channel, incorporating three distinct neighborhoods: Kogo-kita, Kogo-naka, and Kogo-minami.

In 1869, during a severe famine in Hiroshima, local authorities initiated a large-scale tidal flat reclamation project, establishing the area named Kogo-shinkai in 1870.

The Kogo district maintains strong community bonds through regular local events and festivals, with the Kogo Shrine serving as a central gathering point.

The area features numerous transportation options, including multiple Hiroshima Bus routes and proximity to the Hiroshima Electric Railway Miyajima Line stations.

During post-war scarcity, sweet potatoes were cultivated in school grounds, leading locals to nickname Kogo Junior High School as Imo-chu (Potato School).
