Ota

The Ota ward extends across 59.46 square kilometers of southeastern Tokyo, making it the largest special ward by area in the metropolis.

The formation of Ota ward occurred in 1947 through the consolidation of two distinct regions, Omori and Kamata, following Tokyo's administrative restructuring.

The Ikegami Honmonji Temple in Ota functions as a religious center where residents participate in seasonal festivals and traditional Buddhist ceremonies.

Haneda Airport, located within Ota ward, connects Tokyo to international destinations through four passenger terminals and serves millions of travelers annually.

The Den-en-chofu neighborhood contains numerous residential properties from the 1920s, designed according to European garden city principles.
