Ōmiya-ku, Administrative ward in Saitama, Japan
Located 25 kilometers north of central Tokyo, Omiya-ku extends across 12.80 square kilometers with a population density of 9,300 residents per square kilometer.
The area gained prominence during the Edo period as Omiya-shuku, functioning as a post station along the Nakasendo highway between Edo and Kyoto.
The ward inherited its name from the Hikawa Shrine, a spiritual center that has drawn pilgrims and visitors since the Heian period.
The Omiya Ward Office at Kishikichi-cho operates Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 5:15 pm, with additional service on the last Sunday monthly.
The commercial center features multiple railway connections at Omiya Station, making it the primary business hub within both Saitama City and Prefecture.
