Itabashi-ku

The district extends across 32.22 square kilometers with residential neighborhoods, commercial zones, educational facilities, and multiple parks within its boundaries.

The name Itabashi originates from a wooden bridge built during the Heian period, which crossed the Shakujii River and served travelers along the Nakasendo route.

The district maintains numerous temples, shrines, and botanical gardens, including the Akatsuka Botanical Garden, where residents participate in traditional seasonal celebrations.

Multiple train lines connect Itabashi to central Tokyo, with the JR East, Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line, and Toei Mita Line serving the district's stations.

Itabashi developed international connections through sister-city relationships with Burlington in Canada, Shijingshan District in Beijing, and Bologna in Italy.
