Chiyoda-ku

The central district spans 11.66 square kilometers, incorporating the Imperial Palace grounds, government buildings, and commercial centers within its boundaries.

The formation of Chiyoda ward occurred in 1947 when Kanda and Kojimachi wards merged during the reorganization of Tokyo City into Tokyo Metropolis.

The district contains multiple neighborhoods with distinct identities, from Marunouchi's financial sector to Akihabara's electronics markets and Jinbocho's book district.

The area maintains excellent transportation connections through Tokyo Station, serving over 400,000 daily passengers with multiple rail lines and subway access points.

Chiyoda generates approximately 25 percent of Japan's GDP while having the lowest population density among Tokyo's special wards at 5,709 people per square kilometer.
