Konan-ku, Administrative ward in Yokohama, Japan.
Konan-ku is an administrative ward in Yokohama featuring residential neighborhoods, shopping areas, and local facilities that serve the people living here. The district has a mix of housing, small shops, parks, and public spaces spread across its neighborhoods.
The ward developed from the historical Kuraki District in Musashi Province during the Edo period. The area was under the direct control of the Tokugawa shogunate and administered by local officials.
