Kanazawa-ku

Kanazawa-ku extends over 31 square kilometers along Tokyo Bay, containing fourteen distinct neighborhoods including Hakkeijima, Fukuura, and Mutsuura.

The region transformed from a Kamakura period seaport to an official ward of Yokohama in 1948, previously hosting a significant Imperial Japanese Navy Technical Center.

The ward symbol, adopted in 1987, incorporates maritime elements such as waves and seagulls, reflecting the district's connection to Tokyo Bay.

The Kanazawa Ward Office, located at 2-9-1 Deiki, operates weekdays from 8:45 AM to 5 PM, offering municipal services and family register management.

Archaeological discoveries in the area include stone tools from the Japanese Paleolithic period and ceramic fragments from the Jomon period.
