Kita-ku, Administrative ward in Niigata, Japan

The northeastern district of Niigata city extends over 107 square kilometers and meets the Sea of Japan along its northern border point.

The area transformed from the village of Kuzudzuka in 1889 to Toyosaka town in 1955, before becoming part of Niigata's ward system in 2007.

The district maintains Japanese traditions through seasonal celebrations, including flower viewing gatherings in numerous local parks during spring months.

Residents access the area through Toyosaka Station on the JR East Hakushin Line, with additional transportation provided by Niigata Kotsu bus services.

The district contains 96 distinct areas and maintains a population density of 690 people per square kilometer, accommodating 74,559 residents.
