Minato, Special ward in Tokyo, Japan.

The Minato area incorporates 30 distinct neighborhoods, including Roppongi, Akasaka, and Azabu, spread across 20.37 square kilometers of central Tokyo.

The establishment of Minato occurred on March 15, 1947, through the consolidation of three former wards: Akasaka, Azabu, and Shiba.

Multiple international embassies and diplomatic missions operate within Minato, creating a multinational environment with residents from numerous countries.

The ward contains headquarters of major corporations like Sony, Honda, and Fujitsu, along with direct transportation connections to Haneda and Narita airports.

The district maintains the highest concentration of company headquarters in Tokyo, with over 49 of Japan's Fortune 500 companies based in this area.
