Aki-ku, Administrative ward in Hiroshima, Japan
Aki-ku is a residential and urban ward forming the eastern section of Hiroshima city. The district covers an area of around 94 square kilometers and serves as home to roughly 76,000 residents.
Aki-ku was established as one of eight foundational administrative districts when Hiroshima organized its municipal structure. The ward developed into a residential area while maintaining its role as a service center for the eastern communities.
Aki-ku integrates modern Japanese municipal services with residential communities through its ward office, which coordinates local cultural activities and social programs.
The ward office and its branch locations provide residents and visitors access to administrative services such as family registry and insurance matters. Service points are distributed across the district to ensure convenient access for those who need to handle official business.
The district operates multiple branch offices located in neighborhoods such as Nakano, Hataka, and Yano across its territory. This decentralized arrangement allows residents of eastern Hiroshima to handle administrative matters close to their homes rather than traveling to a single main location.
