Bunkyo, Special ward in central Tokyo, Japan

Educational institutions form the heart of Bunkyo ward, with the University of Tokyo's main campus covering multiple blocks along Hongo Street.

Bunkyo emerged in 1947 through the combination of Hongo and Koishikawa wards during Tokyo's administrative restructuring into a metropolitan governance system.

The ward maintains numerous gardens, including Koishikawa Botanical Garden, which houses over 4,000 plant species and serves as a research center.

The ward contains multiple transit hubs, including Ochanomizu, Nezu, and Komagome stations, connecting residents to different areas through various railway lines.

Tokyo Dome, located in Bunkyo ward, functions as Japan's largest indoor baseball stadium and hosts the Yomiuri Giants professional baseball team.
