Saeki-ku, Administrative ward in Hiroshima, Japan.
Saeki-ku is an administrative ward in western Hiroshima that stretches across a large area and consists of residential neighborhoods, office spaces, and various types of public areas. The zone includes both densely developed urban districts and areas with more green spaces and agricultural elements.
The ward took its current form in 2005 when the neighboring town of Yuki was incorporated, enlarging its territory. This merger changed the population size and the character of economic activities in the area.
The Japan Mint Hiroshima Branch operates here and is a major facility for producing the nation's currency. It shows how this area plays a role in Japan's economic infrastructure.
You can access various services and information at the ward's main administrative office during business hours, with additional support available at a branch location. Visitors should check ahead to see which offices handle their specific needs.
The ward maintains specialized agricultural administration divisions, showing that alongside more modern urban areas there are also more rural zones. This mix of urban and rural character makes it a diverse area.
