Chiyoda-ku, Special ward in Tokyo, Japan.
Description
Chiyoda-ku is a special ward in Tokyo that contains the Imperial Palace and its gardens, government offices, and business districts. The ward stretches from the historic center of the city to modern developments and brings together several neighborhoods with different functions.
History
Kanda and Kojimachi, two separate wards, merged in 1947 to form Chiyoda during the reorganization of the capital. The merger created an administrative area that encompasses both historic government centers and traditional merchant quarters.
Culture
The district contains multiple neighborhoods with distinct identities, from Marunouchi's financial sector to Akihabara's electronics markets and Jinbocho's book district.
Practical
Tokyo Station provides access to many train lines and subway connections and serves as the main hub for getting around the ward. Most points of interest are within walking distance from the station or from nearby subway stops.
Did you know?
The number of residents is low compared to other Tokyo wards, while hundreds of thousands come during the day to work or shop. This difference between daytime and nighttime population shapes the rhythm of the streets and public spaces.
