Nakano, Administrative district in western Tokyo, Japan
Nakano extends across 15.59 square kilometers with residential areas, small independent businesses, and narrow streets connecting different neighborhoods throughout the ward.
The district originated from the merger of Nogata and Nakano towns into Tokyo City in 1932, later becoming an official special ward in 1943.
The local Baishoin temple attracts people during spring when cherry trees turn the gardens into a gathering space for seasonal celebrations.
Multiple rail lines serve the district, including JR East Chuo, Seibu Shinjuku, Tokyo Metro Tozai, and Marunouchi lines through various stations.
Nakano Broadway contains multiple floors of specialty shops dedicated to Japanese entertainment media, including manga stores and collectible merchandise retailers.
