Midori-ku

Midori Ward covers 25.42 square kilometers in eastern Kanagawa Prefecture, with hilly terrain in most areas except for the northeastern Tsurumi River basin.

The territory underwent significant changes from its status as tenryō land under Tokugawa shogunate control to becoming an independent ward of Yokohama in 1969.

The ward houses multiple educational institutions, including the Nagatsuta campus of Tokyo Institute of Technology, Showa University, and Toyo Eiwa University.

Transportation infrastructure includes the JR East Yokohama Line, Tokyu Corporation railways, Tōmei Expressway, and National Routes 16 and 246.

During the Meiji period, this area established itself as a center for silk cultivation, contributing to Japan's textile industry development.
