Toshima-ku, Special ward in northern Tokyo, Japan
This residential and commercial district spans numerous neighborhoods including Ikebukuro, Sugamo, and Komagome, forming a dynamic urban environment within Tokyo Metropolitan Area.
The establishment of Toshima-ku in 1943 marked a significant administrative restructuring of Tokyo, transforming from four merged towns into an autonomous municipal entity.
The district maintains a population of 25,573 foreign residents among its 301,599 inhabitants, creating a multicultural environment with Chinese and Korean communities.
Ikebukuro Station, located in the heart of Toshima-ku, functions as the second most frequented railway station in Japan, connecting multiple train lines.
The Somei area of Toshima-ku originated the Somei Yoshino cherry tree variety, which became the most common cherry blossom type across Japan.
